Oliver Heald – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Oliver Heald on 2016-04-18.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 9 December 2015 to Question 18426, what progress has been made on design development for the A1(M) Widening Scheme.

Andrew Jones

Highways England Delivery Plan, published in 2015, includes the introduction of smart motorways on the A1(M) between Junctions 6 and 8. This will provide improved capacity and better access, and should unlock much of the growth potential around Stevenage.

The scheme is commencing design development works now.
