Road users will see around 900 extra lane miles of road capacity added to England’s strategic highway network by 2021 – a third more than was provided in the previous decade.
The boost is thanks to a huge £24 billion investment – the biggest since the 1970s – which will see annual funding for enhancements to our motorways and major A roads triple over the next 6 years. Investment includes more than £9 billion on maintenance, £6 billion of which will be spent on resurfacing 3,000 miles of the strategic road network.
Hopefully you’ll see the benefit near you soon. Let us know in the comments section below what the infrastructure is like near you.
