Mr. Jim Cunningham: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the average time taken to complete
major road schemes. [14572]
Mr. Watts: [holding answer 10 February 1997]:
Reducing the time taken to complete road schemes is an objective of the Highways Agency. Figures taken from the agency's annual
report for 1995-96 are given in the table. They show the average time taken, from programme entry to completion, for schemes
completed in each year.
1992-93: 15.0 years
1993-94: 11.9 years
1994-95: 11.4 years
1995-96: 13.4 years.
Of the 21 schemes analysed in 1995-96, five entered the programme over 20 years ago, one in 1969. If these schemes are taken out of
the analysis, the average time reduces to 10.6 years, showing a gradual fall over the four-year period.
