Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps are being taken to improve the A14 from junction 42 (Westley) to junction 51 (Beacon Hill).
Highways England has no plans to improve this section of the A14 in Suffolk within the current Roads Investment Strategy (2015-2020). However, Highways England’s largest construction project has just commenced on the A14 between Huntington and Cambridge.
There are now updating its East of England route strategy in preparation for the second Roads Investment Strategy (2020-2025) and options for improving the A14 further will be considered.
