M62: Kirklees
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress they have made with plans for a proposed new link road to connect the M62 westbound to the M606; whether capital funding has been allocated for that link road; and whether a timetable for construction has been determined.
- Answer
-
The M62/M606 Chain Bar scheme was included in the first Road Investment Strategy (2015-2020). Subsequently, work on the scheme was paused in October 2017 because it demonstrated low value for money, and therefore no capital funding has been allocated for the remainder of the first Roads Investment Strategy.
The Department is currently making decisions on the content of the second Road Investment Strategy which will include an affordable, deliverable investment plan for 2020 to 2025. We expect to announce final decisions on this strategy in the coming months, on which schemes will be included and their delivery timetables.
