The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an estimate of the potential cost to the public purse of the proposed A141 upgrade north of St Ives.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The proposed A141 upgrade scheme is sponsored by the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) as the Local Transport Authority. However, we understand that the current estimated capital cost of the scheme is between £225 million and £250 million.

To date, the CPCA has allocated £6 million for the development of the Outline Business Case, with £2.006 million being spent so far, funded via the Department for Transport’s Transforming Cities Fund. An additional £8.67 million has been allocated to support future business case development.
