Council leader Martin Hill said £12m was cut from its highways budget by the government last yearCouncillors have committed an extra £10m to maintaining Lincolnshire's 5,500 mile road network.
The use of the money was approved at a meeting on Friday, with Mr Hill saying it would mainly be spent on maintaining rural roads.
