The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much of the Structures Fund will be allocated towards the funding of the Lower Thames Crossing.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Funding for the Lower Thames Crossing is separate to the £1bn announced at Spending Review 2025 for key local highway enhancement projects and a new Structures Fund for repairing run down bridges, decaying flyovers and worn-out tunnels.
