Highway Partnership Alliance (HPA)
A Simpler Way To Deliver Section 278 Highway Works
The Highway Partnership Alliance represents a collaborative approach to delivering Section 278 Highway Works, designed to remove complexity and uncertainty from the adoption process.
HPA brings together Developers, Local Highway Authorities, and established Delivery Partners within a single, aligned framework to offer a fixed-price, turnkey solution for Section 278 works.
Developers benefit from a single point of accountability, reduced management burden, and confidence that works will be delivered in line with Local Authority requirements from the outset without the need to tender Contractors, manage bonds, or oversee delivery.
HPA can also include the design, technical approval, delivery, inspection, and final sign-off of Section 278 works within one coordinated package, providing clarity and certainty from early design through to adoption.
The result is a streamlined, authority-aligned route to delivering Highway Works, ultimately reducing risk, saving time, and supporting positive, long-term relationships with Local Highway Authorities.
