Structures Fund

Asked by Joe RobertsonConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 30 June 2026UIN 12033

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the total budget is of the Structures Fund; how much and what percentage of that funding has been allocated to local highway authorities; and which schemes have received funding.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Government last year announced a £1 billion package of investment for key local highway enhancement projects and the new Structures Fund for repairing run-down bridges, decaying flyovers and worn-out tunnels.

Local highway authorities have until 3 August 2026 to put forward schemes for investment from the fund and the government intends to announce funding awards this Autumn.
