A45

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of progress on the planned dualing of the A45 between Stanwick and Thrapston.

Answer

When the first ever Road Investment Strategy was published in December 2014 we made a commitment to develop a scheme to dual the A45 between Stanwick and Thrapston.

The Government understands the importance of a fully dualled A45 between the A14 and the M1. We remain committed to removing this final bottleneck on the route yet are mindful of the environmental concerns locally.

We anticipate that the development of this scheme will begin shortly and will include public engagement. The scheme will be delivered as part of the second Road Investment Strategy which is due to begin in April 2020.
