Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will put in place plans to dual sections of the A15 north of Lincoln to support economic development within the Humber sub-region; and if he will make a statement.

The A15 north of Lincoln is the responsibility of local highway authorities – Lincolnshire County Council and North Lincolnshire Council. It is for those authorities to prioritise areas of their networks for improvements, and to seek funding, if required.

Government announced last month £4.5m towards the A15 (North) Asset Renewal project. This will resurface a section of the existing carriageway, reducing the need for disruptive road repairs and helping to support economic development within the Humber sub-region.
