Massive investment in Britain's roads and reailways

The Government has announced a multi-billion investment in our roads and railways, helping to support our economic recovery and level-up infrastructure across the country.

  • As the country gets back to work, we are encouraging as many people as possible to avoid using public transport and instead travel by car, bike or on foot – and we want to make sure these essential journeys are as easy as possible. 
  • That is why the government is  delivering a £1.7 billion infrastructure package that will improve roads, repair bridges and fill in millions of potholes across the country, as well as accelerating more than £175 million worth of work across our road and rail network, ensuring networks get the vital repairs they need while fewer passengers are using them – and locking in the environmental benefits seen over the past few months by boosting England’s charging infrastructure for electric vehicles over the next decade. 
  • This will mean that as Britain slowly and cautiously reopens our society and get our economy moving again, everyone will be able to benefit from smoother and safer journeys, with better connections in every part of our country for the future.
