Road Investment Strategy

We continue to support National Highways and the relevant Local Authorities in making the case for these much-needed schemes.

In August 2024, we published a report outlining the RIS schemes that we believe deserve investment across the region, which will create a more resilient road network that can support both the Midlands’ and national economy.

Delivering RIS 2

A number of Midlands projects earmarked for RIS 2 (2020-2025) will not be completed before the end of the period. We believe that these projects are of vital significance, and it is essential that these are completed during RIS 3 (2025-2030):

  • A38 Derby junctions
  • A46 Coventry junctions
  • A46 Newark bypass
  • M54 to M6 link road

RIS 3 and beyond

There are a number of other schemes we believe will unlock the full economic potential of the region and are proposing they are delivered in the next RIS (2025 to 2030).

  • A1/A52 junction Improvement
  • A46 improvement at Evesham
  • A46 between Stratford and Warwick
  • A46 improvement at Syston
  • A483 Pant Llanymynech Bypass
  • A5/A426 Gibbet Hill junction
  • A5 Hinckley to Tamworth
  • A50 Central Section
  • Birmingham Motorway Box
  • M1 junction 24
  • M1 junction 28
  • M1 improvements at Leicester
