The level of capital funding invested through the major enhancement projects portfolio during Road Investment Strategy (RIS) 1 and 2 split by region is show in the below table. To note, the spend for the final year of RIS2 (FY2024/25) isn’t reported until summer 2025, therefore the figures for RIS2 only cover the first four years of that period.
