The Campaign for Better Transport today revealed that the cost of the Highways Agency roads in the Government’s road building programme has now increased by up to £4 billion. When the schemes entered the programme, they totalled £4.45 billion, but are now predicted to cost up to 83% more than first thought, and could cost the taxpayer as much as £8.12 billion.[1][3]
