Written question asked by Edward Argar (Conservative) on Monday, 30 October 2017, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 1 November 2017. It was answered by Jesse Norman (Conservative) on Monday, 6 November 2017 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


M1: Leicestershire

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of expected traffic volumes on the M1 between junctions 21 and 22 in Leicestershire over the next 10 years.

Answer

The section between junction 21and 21a is busy because of the confluence between strategic traffic on the M1, regional flows between the M1 and M6 using the M69 and local traffic accessing Leicester.

There has been no specific 10 year assessment made of traffic volumes on the M1 between J21 - 22. However, the M1 section between J19 – 23a is the 8th busiest area within the London to Scotland East route strategy, and the 84th nationally.
