Highways England operates, maintains and improves England’s motorways and major A-roads, also known as the strategic road network.
Our network totals around 4,300 miles. While this represents only 2% of all roads in
England by length, these roads carry a third of all traffic by mileage and two-thirds
of all heavy goods traffic.
England’s strategic road network forms the economic backbone of the country, is open
24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is relied on by communities and businesses
to get from A to B.
Our ambition is to ensure all our major roads are more dependable, durable and,
most importantly, safe. In pursuit of that aim, we’re delivering £15 billion of investment
in our network as described in the first Government’s Road Investment Strategy
(RIS1) 2015-2020.
As part of this Strategy, the Department for Transport has made money available to
develop a scheme to upgrade the remaining single carriageway section of the A417,
with the aim of constructing the road in the second RIS (RIS2) 2020-2025, subject to
funding availability.
