Detailed contractual information relating to projects that remain under active consideration, development or review is commercially sensitive and disclosure could prejudice future commercial activity and value for money. The Department therefore does not disclose contract-level information for such schemes.

For schemes that have been formally cancelled and will not proceed, Table 1 lists delivery contracts formally terminated by National Highways following cancellation of the associated scheme since July 2024.
