A number of sections of the A66 has been upgraded or bypassed since the 1970’s. We now want to upgrade the remaining single carriageway sections to provide a safe and reliable journey between Penrith and Scotch Corner.

A new technology developed to help ease the pain of roadworks for road users and businesses saw 2,100 fewer journeys being delayed on the M6 in a two-month trial.

Maintenance schemes taking place in the North West region.

When a tired old road sign disappeared from the spot where it had sat for almost 50 years on the M6 it sparked a social media buzz.

By dualling the remaining sections of single carriageway, we will improve safety, help make journeys more reliable and support the regional and local economy.

We have listened to drivers' concerns about being able to find a safe place to stop in an emergency on all lane running smart motorways. We have been developing a programme to create additional emergency areas on sections of all lane running motorway across the country.
