The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugo Swire on 2016-07-20.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will re-evaluate the dualling of the entire A303/A30 corridor.

Mr John Hayes

The Government is committed to upgrading all single carriageway sections of the A303 and A358 between the M3 and M5 to dual carriageway standard. In respect of the A303/A30 between Southfields and Honiton, Highways England will assess the options for improvements, including dualling, as part of its South West Peninsula route strategy, for which evidence gathering is underway. All interested parties are encouraged to submit evidence on the performance of this route through the tool at: www.highways.gov.uk/route-strategies.
