Ports: Roads

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government to what extent they consider the study of England's port connectivity when making future road scheme investment decisions.

Answer

Her Majesty’s Government’s decisions about which road schemes to progress are based on deliverability, affordability and the extent to which they meet the five key aims for the network post-2020 set out in its Planning Ahead publication

Integration, including linking the strategic road network to ports, airports and rail, is one of those five key aims. The Government’s recent Port Connectivity study contributes evidence to decision-making for the second Road Investment Strategy.
