The Government is committed to tackling congestion across the country’s road network, and has recently announced its intention to form a Major Road Network (MRN) comprising the most important local authority A roads.

The MRN will receive a dedicated portion of the National Roads Fund (NRF), which will be established in 2020/21. The NRF is derived from revenue raised from Vehicle Excise Duty in England only and therefore MRN funding will not spent in Wales.

We will be consulting on our proposals for the creation of a MRN before the end of the year. The results of the consultation will determine the process of how the funding will be allocated across England’s regions.
