A12: Repairs and Maintenance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she plans to take to decommission the A12 widening scheme; and what estimate she has made of the (a) timescale and (b) cost of that process.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Department is working with National Highways to bring the scheme to a close in an orderly way to end a long period of uncertainty for those affected. We are anticipating that the scheme will be substantially closed down by the end of 2026, with some activities closing down sooner.
National Highways will publish details on costs incurred in its Annual Report and Accounts in due course.
