This act paper sets out the government鈥檚 鈥楻oad investment strategy鈥� (RIS) for the 2015 to 2020 road period, as required under the Infrastructure Act 2015. It:

  • outlines the government鈥檚 strategic vision for the strategic road network to 2040
  • commits to the delivery of 112 major schemes to start by 2020, as well as the development of a further 15 schemes and 6 strategic studies
  • specifies the network and company performance that Highways England - the new strategic highways company 鈥� is expected to deliver
  • states the funding available to deliver these goals between 2015 and 2021

The 3 sections that make up the RIS were originally issued as 3 separate documents in December 2014, alongside the 鈥�Road investment strategy: overview鈥�.

A leaflet, providing a simple summary of these long term plans has also been published.

Changes that are made to the RIS under the 鈥榗hange control鈥� process in Highways England鈥檚 licence and in the 鈥榝ramework document鈥� are also published here. The first 3 amendments were agreed in March 2016.
