Summary

Proposals for the Strategic Road Network (SRN) and its current and future needs.

This consultation ran from
12:15am on 13 December 2017 to 11:45pm on 7 February 2018

Consultation description

In order to set investment in the Strategic Road Network (SRN) the government publishes a multi-year ‘Road investment strategy’ (RIS). The second RIS (RIS2) will cover the financial years 2020/21 to 2024/25.

As the first step in the process for setting RIS2, Highways England has published its Strategic Road Network initial report and supporting documents.

The SRN initial report sets out:

• Highways England’s assessment of the current state of the SRN
• its potential future needs
• their proposed priorities for RIS2

To inform its response to the initial report, the Department for Transport is first seeking views on:

• the proposals made by Highways England in the SRN initial report
• our analytical approach for developing RIS2 and whether it is sufficiently robust
• whether we have heard the full range of views that should be incorporated into the RIS2 programme, including about the shape of the SRN
