Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress has been made on making the stretch of motorway between junctions 4 and 11 of the M27 a smart motorway.
In the June 2013 spending round, 15 smart motorway interventions were confirmed for delivery post 2015. The M27 J4 – J11 was one of 15 locations identified.
The Highways Agency has been progressing traffic modelling, technical/environmental surveys, development of the operational concept and design work. This will support delivery of a programme of smart motorway solutions across the 15 locations.
