The eighth year of Strictly Highways was one to remember.
Held at the iconic Winter Gardens in Blackpool, the event once again brought together hundreds of delegates from across the highways and road infrastructure technology sector – connecting local authorities, the Department for Transport (DfT), and the wider supply chain for three days of learning, collaboration, and celebration.
From inspiring talks and innovation showcases to networking opportunities and the glittering DfT Special Recognition Awards, the 2025 event celebrated the very best of our industry.
Here, we recap Strictly Highways 2025 – in pictures.
