Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 11 September 2018 to Question 169126 on A14: road works, what estimate he has made of the delay to work on that road as a result of the archaeological work; and what estimate he has made of the cost of that delay.
Answered by Jesse Norman - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons
The A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon scheme is on budget and on target to open to traffic by 2020/21 as planned.
Highways England have encountered some challenges with the archaeology work schedule, but they have been able to work flexibly to ensure there has not been an impact on the construction programme. Highways England confirm this will not have an impact on the overall scheme budget and will be able to publish final costs once the scheme has completed.

Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much money has been spent from the public purse on archeological work in relation to the new A14 road works; and how much further funding he plans to allocate to that work.

Approximately £40.7 million to £43.4 million has been spent by the A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon scheme on archaeological works to date with a further £1.5 million to £5 million expected in the future. These works have been necessary to meet the commitments Highways England made during the Development Consent Order process. More accurate costs will be published after the scheme has been completed.
