In the broadest sense, the term street works is used to describe work performed in the construction, maintenance and repair of certain types of streets.

Street works are necessary to provide and maintain utility and transport services. Generally, this type of work is carried out by statutory undertakers, including:

* Utility companies.
* Licensees under section 50 of the [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1991/22/section/48 New Roads and Street Works Act 1991] (NRSWA).
* Contractors.

Street works differ from roadworks, which are defined under NRSWA as works for road purposes (WRP). WRP activities are usually carried out by highway authorities to improve, repair, maintain or replace highways. They are defined in relation to certain activities, including:

Works for the maintenance of the highway.

Any works under powers conferred by Part V of the HA1980 (Highway improvement works).

Erection, maintenance, alteration or removal of traffic signs on or near the highway.

Construction of a crossing for vehicles across a footway or grass verge or the strengthening or adaptation of a footway for use as a crossing for vehicles.

Replacement or maintenance of street lighting, even if carried out on behalf of the council by an electricity distribution company.

Like street works, diversionary works is a term associated with projects that involve utilities. It may be used when it becomes necessary to reroute utility services. Diversionary works are sometimes required to accommodate highway improvement schemes.
