£170 million in road funding
The transport secretary has revealed a massive injection of funding for Britain’s roads
57 road improvement schemes are to be delivered by the Highways Agency by March 2015 to reduce bottlenecks, improve road safety and eventually, boost the economy. Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said:
“Keeping traffic moving is vital to securing prosperity. By removing bottlenecks and improving access to local enterprise zones, key international trading ports and communities, these road schemes will help get people to and from work and power the economy.”
