Transport written question – answered at on 23 February 2012.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport which transport capital projects announced in the Autumn Statement require funding beyond the current Spending Review period.
The following schemes announced in the Autumn Statement on
A14 Kettering Bypass widening junctions 7-9;
A45/46 Tollbar End improvement scheme;
A453 widening between Nottingham, the M1 and East Midlands airport;
M6 Managed Motorway junctions 10a-3;
M3 Managed Motorway junctions 2-4a;
M1/M6 intersection improvements;
New link road from M56 at Manchester airport to A6 south of Stockport;
South Bristol Link Phases 1 and 2;
Lincoln Eastern Bypass;
Kingkerswell Bypass;
Hucknall town centre improvement scheme;
Evesham bridge maintenance;
Crewe Green Link Southern Section;
BRT Ashton Vale to Temple Meads (Bristol);
A45 Westbound Bridge (Solihull).
Two Managed Motorway schemes (M25 junctions 23 to 27 and M1 junctions 39 to 42) were accelerated to be brought forward for construction up to a year earlier than previously planned, so reducing the funding required beyond this spending review period.
In addition, the following rail schemes were announced as additions to the Regulatory Asset Base and will continue to be dealt with according to the Office of Rail Regulation's regulatory regime:
Electrification of the Transpennine Express;
East-West Rail Project;
Fund to reduce disruption on rail network;
Railway improvements (winter resilience fund, bridge renewals and Access for All).
