Highways England, a UK Government owned road operator, has unveiled plans to deliver £14billion (€15.5 billion) of road projects over the next five years as part of a larger £27.4 billion (€30.3 billion) scheme.
A further £11 billion (€9.9 billion) will be used to repair and replace parts of the existing strategic road network with the company looking to support around 64,000 construction industry jobs.
Four major road schemes are set to be completed in the North West by spring 2025, and another five major projects are expected to begin construction works in the next five years.
Jim O’Sullivan, Highways England Chief Executive; who is set to stand down next year, said, ”Over the next five years we will increase capacity where it is most needed and continue to upgrade more of the network which has suffered from decades of under-investment.”
