Bridges cash will be over four years

Yesterday I looked at the announcement of a £1bn structures fund, with £590m going towards the Lower Thames Crossing and the rest for “broken bridges, ruined roads and tired tunnels” on England’s local road network.

There wasn’t much detail then but there is a bit more now.

The new cash will be over the period covered by the Spending Review, which is 2026-27 to 2029-30 for capital funding.

That is obviously around £100m a year.

What we don’t yet have is how it fits in with the £24bn capital funding for strategic and local roads in England over the same period.
