To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the total expenditure by (a) her Department and (b) National Highways was on the A46 Newark Bypass scheme prior to the cancellation of the Skanska contract.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the total expenditure by (a) her Department and (b) National Highways was on the A46 Newark Bypass scheme prior to the cancellation of the Skanska contract.
The A46 Newark Bypass is currently under review and therefore the costs remain commercially sensitive.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what reason National Highways cancelled its contract with Skanska for the A46 Newark Bypass scheme; and whether the scheme remains part of the strategic roads programme.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what reason National Highways cancelled its contract with Skanska for the A46 Newark Bypass scheme; and whether the scheme remains part of the strategic roads programme.
The contract for the A46 scheme was awarded to Skanska in 2022. The Government inherited a series of unaffordable commitments in July 2024 and conducted a Spending Review. As a result, the A46 scheme was expected to be delivered later than previously assumed and the contract with Skanska was no longer optimal. National Highways informed Skanska that it would not be proceeding with the main construction works under that contract. National Highways is grateful to Skanska for its valuable contribution in progressing the A46 Newark Bypass scheme through the design and planning consent stages and continues to work with the company on a number of other schemes currently under construction.
Separately, to support the Government’s Defence Investment Plan (DIP), the Department for Transport has identified potential savings from its roads budgets which include the potential cancellation of the A46 Newark Bypass scheme, on which the Department will consult shortly. No final decision has yet been made on the cancellation of the scheme, and the Department will carefully consider the responses to the consultation before deciding the way forward.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the consultation on the 2016 Chichester Bypass Improvement Scheme.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the consultation on the 2016 Chichester Bypass Improvement Scheme.
Proposals to improve the A27 in Chichester were removed from the Third Road Investment Strategy’s pipeline of potential future major enhancements due to significant affordability and deliverability challenges.
The proposals had been developed over a number of years, and had taken account of responses to the 2016 public consultation by, among other things, including additional options such as technical consideration of a northern route.
The Department and National Highways recognise the importance of the A27 as a key route across the south coast of England, and National Highways will soon be refreshing its Route Strategies. These are the evidence base which underpins future investment planning, and they will consider the current pressures on, and future needs of, the route.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of funding the construction of a Northern Bypass around Ipswich.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of funding the construction of a Northern Bypass around Ipswich.
The Ipswich Northern Bypass was a scheme developed by Suffolk County Council, who are the Local Transport Authority for this region. A decision was taken locally by Suffolk County Council to withdraw the scheme back in 2020.
Suffolk County Council did not engage with the Department on the scheme and did not submit a Strategic Outline Business Case before withdrawing it. As a result, the Department has never been in a position to assess the proposal.
The department would go through the relevant assessment process if this or other schemes were put forward and if funding became available in the future.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with Suffolk County Council regarding the construction of a Northern Bypass around Ipswich.

The A59 Kex Gill bypass scheme has been subject to delays and increased costs because of design changes, poor ground conditions and further landslips on the A59. The scheme is overseen by the Conservative-run North Yorkshire council, which provides regular reports to the Department on its progress.

What discussions she has had with North Yorkshire Council on the progress of the development of the A59 Kex Gill bypass.
This link is vital for east-west transport. I urge Ministers to talk more frequently with the council, because the cost overruns are now becoming quite a challenge for it, and it is vital that we get the project completed.

Under the major road network programme, once the Department has approved a scheme and agreed its funding contribution, covering any cost increases is entirely a matter for local authorities. The Department has provided over £56 million towards A59 Kex Gill, and no further funding is available, but of course I would be happy for my Department to provide advice to the Conservative-run council on how to deliver the scheme with the funding provided.

I commend the hon. Lady and understand exactly her frustration in relation to having infrastructure in place. In my constituency we have been pursuing the Ballynahinch bypass for over 35 years—15 of which I have been pursuing it as an MP. We now finally have a date, but such situations...

The reality here is quite simple. It is about transport infrastructure versus economic growth. If we cannot get the transport infrastructure right, there is an impact on the potential for economic growth and tens of thousands of jobs in North Tyneside and Northumberland; we will not see any growth in...
