Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what (a) funding and (b) other support his Department makes available for improving major road junctions.

The Government has made £12bn of funding available through the Local Growth Fund in the current Spending Review period which can be used to improve roads, including major road junctions.

Local Authorities have also had the opportunity to bid for individual large schemes to be funded through the Large Local Major scheme competition.

Additional funding will be made available from the National Road Fund to fund schemes on the Strategic Road Network and Major Road Network.

The Government is also investing over £15 billion in the Strategic Road Network to improve road and junction capacity.
