Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary provide an update on what discussions he has had with the new UK Government regarding progressing plans for a Pant/Llanymynech bypass?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for the Economy, Transport and North Wales
National Highways prepared a strategic outline case which included 4 options, 3 bypass and one online improvement (this an enhancement or upgrade to the existing highway on its current alignment within the highway boundary). This case is with the Department for Transport for consideration for inclusion in their Roads Investment Strategy Period 3 (2025 to 2030).
We will continue to work with National Highways to ensure any future scheme which may come forward is aligned to the Welsh Transport Strategy.
