The Department for Transport routinely publishes the value for money categories of major schemes that have been approved for delivery and are available at the following link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/percentage-of-dft-s-appraised-project-spending-that-is-assessed-as-good-or-very-good-value-for-money

For major projects (valued at greater than £10 million) in preparation where the project has been sufficiently developed, the Highways Agency makes available the appraisal summary table (AST). This is updated at appropriate points through the project’s delivery lifecycle.

Details of the AST for each major project can be found on the Highways Agency website via the links in the table below which also summarises the associated BCR:
