Over 50 strategic road and rail upgrades across England and Wales have been funded by the UK Government's £92 billion investment. This programme aims to unlock over 42,000 jobs and deliver 39,000 new homes while improving journey reliability for commuters and businesses. Key projects include the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine route and reinstating passenger rail services between Portishead and Bristol. The Midlands Rail Hub will enhance services for over 50 locations, while digital signalling on the East Coast Main Line will reduce delays and create skilled jobs. This is the largest transport infrastructure investment in a generation.
The programme is expected to unlock over 42,000 jobs, enable the delivery of 39,000 new homes, and deliver faster, more reliable journeys for commuters and businesses nationwide.
Backed by £92 billion in investment, the upgrades are part of the government's Plan for Change - an ambitious effort to reduce congestion, stimulate economic growth, and deliver long-term transport improvements that support regional opportunity.
The Midlands Rail Hub - the region's most ambitious rail investment to date - will receive significant government backing, creating faster, more frequent services for over 50 locations and boosting capacity on key routes into Birmingham.
These projects mark the largest investment in the UK's transport infrastructure in a generation, designed to make everyday journeys quicker and more dependable, connect communities and support greener growth.
