Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many road miles between junction 10 of the M1 and Leeds are currently subject to restrictions in respect of roadworks.
A total of 57.1 miles of the M1 between Junction 10 and Junction 43 for Leeds are currently subject to restrictions in respect of road works.
These road works all relate to upgrades to this section of the M1, part of an ambitious £15.2 billion plan to triple annual levels of spending on England’s motorways and major ‘A’ roads by the end of the decade to improve capacity and condition.
The works associated with these restrictions are set out in the table below.
