roadworks coordination department
You haven't given the context or said which city it is, hence the 3.
This comes from the website of the Amsterdam one, which has changed its name.
De afdeling Stedelijke Programmering richt zich op het programmeren van werkzaamheden in de openbare ruimte. Het betreft de oude taken van voormalig Bureau Stadsregie, aangevuld met een aantal nieuwe programmeringsfuncties.
Stedelijke Programmering stimuleert de samenwerking tussen partijen die werken aan de weg. Zij voert haar taken onafhankelijk uit. Daarnaast beheert de afdeling de gegevens over werkzaamheden, heeft ze kennis van de boven- en ondergrond en informeert de Amsterdammers over de bereikbaarheid van hun stad.
In other words, its main job is to ensure that the roads aren't being dug up all the time.

Well, at least I've bothered to provide evidence for my opinion, and Andre's additional context supports it.

Comment: "It may just be Public Works Department but that doesn't sound contemporary enough. Thanks in any event. "

Actually, this might come close to describing it, although I don't think there are formal departments of this nature in British cities.

You can ask them what they do

and suggested Municipal infrastructure department.
These departments usually have a specific translation, but I have found nothing so far.
Or it could be Public Works Department
