Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether Highways England will make the traffic reports and studies taken to produce the design of the connection at Junction 11 on the M6 link road available to the public.

The traffic reports and studies that informed the design of the M54 to M6 Link road scheme have been made publicly available on both National Highways’ website and the Planning Inspectorate’s website.

The Scheme Assessment Report which details the appraisal of options and informed the Preferred Route Announcement can be found here: https://highwaysengland.citizenspace.com/he/m54-to-m6-m6-toll-link-road/results/schemeassessmentreport.pdf.

The Scheme Assessment Report that was submitted as part of the scheme’s Development Consent order application, along with the Transport Assessment Report, can be found here: https://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/wp-content/ipc/uploads/projects/TR010054/TR010054-000335-TR010054%20M54%207.4%20Transport%20Assessment%20Report.pdf.
