Roads for the 21st century
Reform to the strategic road network in England.
- reforms tackling decades of underinvestment in roads to be backed by legislation
- Highways Agency to become publicly owned company
- additional funding of £500 million for electric vehicles and £12 billion for road maintenance and resurfacing
England’s major roads yesterday got a guarantee of a large increase in funding, locked into a long term settlement, backed by law.
The national network of motorways and trunk roads will get extra lanes, smoother, quieter surfaces, improved junctions and new sections in key areas under the plan published yesterday (16 July 2013) by Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin.
