Prime minister David Cameron announced plans for £15bn of transport investment at the Confederation of British Industry’s (CBI) annual conference in London on 10 November 2014.

This means that over this Parliament and the next, the government will have spent over £24bn on major roads. In what he described as the biggest road-building programme since the 1970s, the ‘roads revolution’ includes plans to invest in more than 100 projects on the strategic road network to tackle pinchpoints by the end of the decade. This is likely to include improvements to:
*The A303.
*The A1 north of Newcastle.
*The A1 Newcastle-Gateshead western bypass.
*Trans-Pennine roads in the north of England.
*The A47.
*The A27.
