Roads: Capital Investment
- Question
-
Her Majesty's Government how many of the projects to tackle congestion and to improve the UK's strategic road network announced in the 2014 Road Investment Strategy have been delayed or cancelled; and why.
- Answer
-
One scheme has been cancelled following the public consultation. The A27 Chichester Bypass scheme in West Sussex was dependent on local support and financial contribution of the authorities and there was no clear consensus on the best way forward.
Three schemes in construction have delays to their "open to traffic" dates. The A1 Leeming to Barton scheme in North Yorkshire has been delayed following extensive archaeological finds. The A21 Tonbridge to Pembury scheme in Kent has been delayed due to the need for remedial action to deal with unforeseen large volumes of hazardous waste. The A30 Temple to Carblake scheme is being delivered by Cornwall County Council and has been delayed due to changes in traffic management to reduce disruption during peak summer months.
