Transport written question – answered at on 4 April 2005.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what action is being taken to address traffic congestion at the M40 and A46 junction.
The Highways Agency has recently improved the M40 and A46 junction at Longbridge in Warwickshire by resurfacing and widening the carriageway around the roundabout and on the slip roads. New traffic signals have also been installed. These measures will ease congestion in the short term.
Proposals to provide a bridge over the M40 and new link roads to further improve the capacity of this junction are included in the M40 Junction 15 (Longbridge) Improvement. Draft Orders for the scheme are expected to be published in the autumn, and subject to satisfactory completion of the statutory procedures, work on the scheme could start in spring 2007 and be completed by autumn 2008.
