This includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a3925 million to tackle congestion and provide upgrades on local roads<\/li>\n<li>\u00a3175 million to improve the 50 most dangerous roads in the country<\/li>\n<li>\u00a3220 million to Highways England to combat congestion<\/li>\n<li>\u00a327 million for the Cambridge to Oxford expressway<\/li>\n<li>6 local major schemes to better journeys<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, the Transport Secretary today:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>awarded \u00a350 million to build the Lincoln Eastern Bypass<\/li>\n<li>announced development of 6 further local major schemes<\/li>\n<li>allocated \u00a370 million for 2017 to 2018 to fix potholes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>This is a government that steps up, not back which is why we are investing record amounts into improving our roads across the country. This investment is over and above the \u00a323 billion we are spending to get motorists to their destinations quickly, more easily and safely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">The schemes announced today are focused on relieving congestion and providing important upgrades to ensure our roads are fit for the future &#8211; removing the barriers to help make an economy that works for everyone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The A14 is the 33rd major scheme that the government has started since 2010. During that time more than \u00a34 billion of schemes have been completed and are already providing drivers with better journeys.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Grayling added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"last-child\">The A14 is a vital road for Cambridgeshire and for the rest of the country, helping link people and businesses to jobs, opportunities and families.

This is on top of the \u00a36 billion councils are receiving up to 2021. This is an increase on the \u00a34.7 billion spent between 2010 and 2015 and almost double the \u00a33.7 million spent between 2005 and 2010.<\/p>\n<p>A further \u00a370 million from the Pothole Fund will be allocated next year. This will allow highway authorities to start repairs quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Britain has some of the safest roads in the world, but the government is investing a further \u00a3175 million to make them even safer. The Department for Transport will work with councils to improve the 50 roads with the worst safety record, which includes the A588 in Lancashire, the A529 in Shropshire and the A18 in Lincolnshire. This is on top of the \u00a31 million pledged this month to improve the A285 in West Sussex.<\/p>\n<p>The Department for Transport today also published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/collections\/road-investment-strategy-post-2020\">5 strategic studies<\/a> into the most complex issues on our road network:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the A66 will be upgraded to create a new east to west dual carriageway, meaning a quicker link between Scotch Corner in North Yorkshire and Penrith, Cumbria\n<ul>\n<li>the department is enhancing junctions on the A69 to create 18 miles of dual carriageway between Newcastle and Hexham, to be complete by 2020<\/li>\n<li>the A69 is a major part of Highways England\u2019s \u00a3220 million to combat congestion at pinch points on motorways and major A roads<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>improvements to the north-west quadrant of the M60, between junctions 8 to 18 &#8211; the A6144 to Liverpool and M66 to Accrington &#8211; will continue to be developed<\/li>\n<li>during the Autumn Statement, the Chancellor of the Exchequer also announced \u00a327 million to develop the Cambridge to Oxford expressway, which includes a new road between the M1 and the M40<\/li>\n<li>the government will continue to examine the case for the A1 in the East of England and improving connectivity between Manchester and Sheffield<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to the 6 major schemes in the Autumn Statement which will help unlock economic and housing growth, Chris Grayling today revealed a further 6 schemes which will have financial backing from the Department for Transport to develop a business case.
