A34: Safety
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to improve road safety on slip roads on the A34 in Newbury.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
In 2017, the Department commissioned National Highways to conduct an in-depth safety review of the route to study incident hotspots, which identified and delivered £12.1m of improvements to the route between Newbury and Oxford, including to the slip roads at East Illsley, West Berkshire. National Highways continues to review the safety performance of these sections of the strategic road network and consider the case for further investment where necessary. I have asked National Highways to engage with local MPs on the route regarding this work.
