French term or phrase: Administration des Ponts et Chaussées (P&Ch) - Luxembourg

I was just wondering what would be the most English-sounding equivalent to this Luxembourg "administration" - I suppose a literal translation would be "(Luxembourg) Bridges and Roads Administration". Would simply "Highways Department" do (or is this more likely to be US-English)? Out of interest, what would the equivalent body be in the UK? I'd appreciate any help or suggestions! Many thanks!
