The U.K. government looks set to scrap many of the large road schemes being planned from 2025. The DfTs top civil servant told MPs yesterday that, for financial reasons, the “headroom for new projects will be very limited.”
Dame Bernadette Kelly, Permanent Secretary at the DfT, was grilled by members of the U.K. parliament’s transport committee.
There are 32 schemes included in the government’s road investment strategy for 2025 and beyond, known as RIS3. Several schemes could be cut from the program, including the controversial tunnel underneath the Stonehenge ritual landscape.
