Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government what is total cost of the installation of new emergency areas on smart motorways, broken down by each motorway.
The previous Government committed £390 million for National Highways to construct over 150 Emergency Areas across the All Lane Running (ALR) smart motorway network through the National Emergency Area Retrofit programme. The work is being managed as a single programme and final costs for the installation of Emergency Areas on each section of motorway will be confirmed when accounts are settled, expected no earlier than Q3 2025/26.
