A663: Road Traffic Control

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of detrunking the A663 Broadway in Chadderton, Oldham.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

During the second Road Investment Strategy (RIS2) covering the period 2020-25, National Highways undertook a comprehensive review of the extent of the Strategic Road Network (SRN). The A663 Broadway in Chadderton was not identified for assessment and therefore was not included in that review. As part of the forthcoming third Road Investment Strategy (RIS3) for 2026-31, National Highways will revisit the scope of the SRN, and this corridor may therefore be considered for inclusion in a future assessment.
