A34: Safety

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of slip roads on the A34 in Newbury on passenger safety.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

National Highways has undertaken several studies across various sections of the A34 to understand where improvements could be made. In 2017, the Department commissioned National Highways to conduct an in-depth safety review of the route to study incident hotspots. This work identified and delivered £12.1m of improvements to the route between Newbury and Oxford, including to the slip roads at East Illsley, West Berkshire.
