Roads: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the level of funding is for projects under the road investment strategy (a) 1 and (b) 2, by region.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The level of capital funding invested through the major enhancement projects portfolio during Road Investment Strategy (RIS) 1 and 2 split by region is show in the below table. To note, the spend for the final year of RIS2 (FY2024/25) isn’t reported until summer 2025, therefore the figures for RIS2 only cover the first four years of that period.

East | 1520.5 | 634.1 |
Midlands | 1408.4 | 1049.8 |
North West | 893.4 | 722.3 |
South East | 1669.2 | 2186.4 |
