Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the A5 between Nesscliffe and Ruabon is being considered for dualling in the Road Investment Strategy 2.
The case for dualling this stretch of road will be given thorough consideration based on the evidence that we have been collecting about current and future pressures across the strategic road network. This includes the evidence gathered by Highways England on the A5 in the Midlands to Wales and Gloucestershire Route Strategy and from my recent visit to the area.
