Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment he has made of the level of progress of the work to upgrade the M3 motorway.
The estimated completion date for the M3 junction 2-4a smart motorway scheme, which is currently in construction, is June 2017. Work on the further M3 smart motorway scheme between Junctions 9-14 is expected to start in 2019/20 and complete by 2021/22. Both are in line with Highways England’s delivery plan and are currently on target.
