The study requested Freedom of Information Act data on the number of roadworks from local councils, and ranked the results based on the 151 councils that responded with usable data.
One of Doncaster’s biggest roadworks projects over the last few years has been a long-running saga to replace a bridge over Thorne Road, which has angered motorists.
