Transport Secretary announces plans to improve motorways for car loan customers
17/07/2008
Car loan customers concerned about the state of British motorways will be pleased to hear about plans to overhaul the country's main highways.
Transport Secretary, Ruth Kelly, yesterday (July 16th) announced that the government plans to invest £6 billion to make improvements to motorways and other "key" roads.
Kelly said: "I am determined to get the best from our road network so that motorists have reliable journey times on roads that are safe and well-managed.
The package includes plans to open the hard shoulder when traffic is at its heaviest and support other more conventional road widening systems.
Tackling congestion was also on the agenda as Kelly published the Command Paper 'Roads - Delivering Choice and Reliability'.
New funding was announced to help the country's biggest towns and cities in recognition of the fact that 80 per cent of congestion is currently in urban areas.
Bristol, Greater Manchester, Leicester, London, Merseyside, South Yorkshire, Tyne and Wear and the West Midlands will benefit from the first allocation of the performance-based £60 million Urban Congestion Performance Fund.
