The Highways Agency has announced its chief executive, Graham Dalton, is to leave his post in the summer.
Dalton has been in the post for the last seven years, and the agency credited him for leading the office during the international credit crunch, and for "establishing a strong reputation for efficiency" throughout his tenure.
Before joining the HA, Dalton worked at the Department for Transport as its director of projects for three years.
A Highways Agency spokesman told BusinessCar the recruitment process for his replacement has started. "The successor will be announced at some point during the summer and Graham will be on hand to help with the handover process," the spokesman said.
"I am leaving the business in good shape with a great team of people and an unprecedented five year fixed investment plan," said Dalton.
"Graham has led the Highways Agency to the point where we can confidently confront the fresh opportunities and challenges in the government's Road Investment Strategy. I thank him warmly for all he has achieved during his successful tenure as CEO," said HA chairman Colin Matthews.
An Infrastructure Bill is currently going through parliament, which will see the Highways Agency become a Government-owned company, Highways England, from April.
The HA said once under Government ownership, HE will be responsible for delivering over 100 new road projects between now and the end of the next parliament.
