Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of a graded junction at the A30 Plusha junction.

The Department is aware of the safety issues at the junction between the A30 and B3257 at Plusha. National Highways is investigating a number of possible early-delivery modest safety improvements for this stretch of the A30. This is part of its A30 Kennards House to Five Lanes Safety Study. A wholly new graded junction would need to be considered for delivery beyond 2030 as part of a future road investment strategy period.
