£15 BILLION ROADS INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The government is investing in more than 100 new road schemes over this parliament and next, 84 of which are brand new today, including the dualling of the A303, A1, A27 and the A47.
The plans include over 1,300 new lane miles in schemes being delivered over the next parliament on motorways and trunk roads, tackling congestion and fixing some of the most notorious and longstanding problem areas on the network.
This includes £1.5 billion of investment to add an extra lane onto key motorways to turn them into Smart motorways, boosting connectivity between London, Birmingham, Manchester and Yorkshire.
