TRUNK ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
The Secretary of State for Transport (Mr Alistair Darling)
I am today announcing a range of improvements to the strategic road network that will tackle congestion, improve safety and reduce the impact of traffic noise.
Measures that minimise the effect of traffic on the people who live alongside roads is as important as trying to ensure that people can travel safely and reliably. For this reason we will be installing quieter surfacing on over 60% of the trunk road network, including all concrete stretches, within the period of the 10 year plan.
I am now able to announce the timetable for the resurfacing of all stretches of concrete roads and that within the next four years we will resurface the 26 stretches affecting the largest number of people. The remaining stretches will be resurfaced between 2007 and 2011.
