The Specification of the reinstatement of openings in highways (SROH) outlines the standards for reinstating streets after completing street works.

Anyone who carries out street works must reinstate the street once the work is finished, in line with these standards.

The fourth edition of SROH was released in 2020, and became statutory guidance on 10 May 2021.

The December 2024 addendum sets out the specification for reinstating pavements following the installation of cable channels that cut through or across public footways .
