To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Government still plans to allocate £1 billion through the Structures Fund for the repair of critical transport infrastructure such as bridges, flyovers and tunnels.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much of the Structures Fund is available to be released in the 2026/27 financial year.

The Government remains committed to the plans it set out at the Spending Review, including in relation to providing £24 billion of capital funding between 2026-27 and 2029-30 to maintain and improve our motorways and local roads. This also includes £1 billion for key local highway enhancement projects and a new Structures Fund for repairing run-down bridges, decaying flyovers and worn-out tunnels.

The Department for Transport surveyed local highway authorities and other transport stakeholders on the criteria for prioritising structures for investment through the Structures Fund in February 2026. The Department is currently considering responses to the survey and will confirm further detail on the Structures Fund and the funding available for the 2026/27 financial year in due course.
