Following the 2021 Spending Review, Government has confirmed that £24 billion is available for National Highways to deliver the Road Investment Strategy (RIS) from 2020 to 2025. This includes the operation, maintenance and enhancements of the strategic road network at a national level. An annual split of this allocation is not yet available and will be published in due course.

The RIS sets out a programme that will deliver improvements and benefits across England, but the Department does not specify precisely how National Highways should allocate spending between different regions or local authority areas.
