M6: Repairs and Maintenance
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 20 January 2026 to Question 104661 on M6: Repairs and Maintenance, if she will publish the assessments undertaken by National Highways in (a) 2019 and (b) 2025 on the feasibility of temporary slip roads at junction 38 of the M6.
- Answer
-
National Highways shared its 2019 option assessment work for the M6 Lune Gorge scheme with local stakeholders, which considered mitigation measures, including the consideration of temporary slip roads at junction 38.
Following further stakeholder engagement, National Highways revisited this option and commissioned a feasibility exercise in August 2025. They presented their findings from the feasibility exercise in September 2025. Subsequently, BWB Consulting have put forward alternative proposals on behalf of local stakeholders. We are keen to work with local people and National Highways have committed to review these further proposals. National Highways will feed back on this.
