Funding
In parallel to the work the Highways Agency has been undertaking, there has been a change since 2005 to the way schemes on some trunk roads are funded. The Government announced through the Spending Review in 2004 that the Strategic Trunk Road Network will now fall into two categories: those of (inter)national importance, such as M1 and M25, and those of predominantly regional importance. The A11 has been classified as of regional importance.
This means that whilst decisions on all schemes (both regional trunk road and major local authority) remain with the Secretary of State for Transport, advice from the regions on the Strategic Road Network of regional priorities was to be sought. In their submission to Government, the East of England Regional Assembly prioritised the scheme for start of works in the 2009/10 - 2015/16 period, with funding for a start of construction for 2012/13, but may start earlier if funds are available.
