Which road schemes he plans to allocate funding to as part of the second Road Investment Strategy.
Which road schemes he plans to allocate funding to as part of the second Road Investment Strategy.
The Department is considering evidence about the strategic road network gathered by Highways England and stakeholders over the past two years, alongside responses to the consultation that took place over the winter. The Department will be announcing the decisions about which new enhancements will be included in the second road investment strategy in 2019.
I thank my hon. Friend for that answer. On the A417 missing link scheme Swindon to Gloucester, can he confirm that it is the Government’s intention that a preferred route will be announced in the first quarter of next year, followed by the development consent order process, followed hopefully by RIS2 funding, and with an intention to commence in the early 2020s to build this much-needed road where there has been a fatality recently?

This road is both dangerous and highly congested. Highways England has been carrying out a consultation on improving the missing link near the Air Balloon pub, as my hon. Friend will know, and I have recently met him and colleagues. Once the responses have been analysed there will be further consultation ahead of the preferred route announcement. We certainly hope there will be a PRA early in 2019.
While we look forward eagerly to the Secretary of State’s visit, we look forward even more eagerly to what my hon. Friend the Minister can do to upgrade the priority of this particular scheme. This is one of the busiest arterial roads in the country: it links the M4 to the M5. Tragically, we have had five deaths since last November. This is a really important priority. What can my hon. Friend do to help?

It was made clear to us when we met my hon. Friend and our hon. Friend the Member for Gloucester (Richard Graham) during the winter that dealing with the problem has been in the “too difficult
to do” box for too long. The phrase “missing link” is a very good way of describing this piece of road, given the congestion that it causes and, of course, its accident record, which is not good at all.
That this House recognises the need for urgent improvements to the A417 Missing Link road connecting Swindon on the M4 at Junction 15 and Gloucester on the M5 at Junction 11A, which carries up to 34,000 vehicles a day; notes that the Missing Link is a three-mile single carriageway on an otherwise dualled road and that this causes regular twice daily queues which damages the economies of the adjoining regions, the South East, South West, West Midlands and Wales; further notes that sadly there have been five fatalities on the road since November 2013; and urges the Government to provide the funding to carry out the Loop Scheme to vastly improve safety and reduce congestion.
