As the Chancellor informed Parliament on 29 July, an internal review of the Department’s capital spend portfolio has been commissioned. The primary aim of the review is to provide strategic advice to the Secretary of State, which may in turn inform decisions on specific projects as part of the multiyear Spending Review. Schemes below are subject to this review and therefore we cannot give any assurances around delivery of these schemes until the Spending Review concludes.
Scheme Name |
A66 Northern Trans-Pennine |
M60/M62/M66 Simister Island Interchange |
A46 Newark Bypass |
A38 Derby Junctions |
M54-M6 Link Road |
Finally, the A5036 Princess Way scheme was cancelled in the Autumn Budget 2024.
