英国汽车协会（RAC）警告，创纪录的夏季高温将导致英国道路状况进一步恶化，坑洞数量预计大幅增加1。长期高温导致沥青氧化变脆，与降雨相结合会形成严重的路面缺陷1。英国部分地区气温超过38°C1，英国气象局研究表明这类高温发生的可能性比过去高130倍，与人为气候变化有关1。
当前道路状况已相当严峻。英格兰和威尔士仅有一半路网状况良好1，83%的驾驶者表示在大多数行车中都会遇到坑洞1，51%的驾驶者认为道路状况是驾驶中最大的焦虑源1。保险公司报告7月和8月地基沉降索赔增加1。
为应对这一挑战，英国政府已增加2025-26年度道路预算至创纪录的16亿英镑1，并为未来十年末的道路改善工程分配73亿英镑1。
The Royal Automobile Club has warned that Britain's road conditions will deteriorate significantly in the aftermath of unprecedented summer temperatures, with pothole numbers expected to rise substantially 1. Parts of the UK experienced temperatures exceeding 38°C during the heatwaves 1, and the prolonged heat has caused asphalt to become brittle through oxidation, a condition that worsens when combined with rainfall to create serious surface defects 1.
The extent of existing road damage is already considerable, with only half of England and Wales' road networks in good condition following the previous winter 1. A concerning 83 percent of drivers report encountering potholes during most of their journeys 1, and 51 percent identify road conditions as their greatest source of driving-related anxiety 1. UK meteorologists have determined that such extreme heat events are now 130 times more likely to occur than in the past, a shift attributed to human-caused climate change 1. Insurance companies have documented increased subsidence claims during July and August 1.
In response to the infrastructure crisis, the government has increased England's local authority road budget to a record £1.6 billion for 2025-26 1. Additionally, the November budget allocation designated £7.3 billion for road improvement projects extending through the end of the current decade 1.
