Improved road access to the port of Felixstowe
The British international freight association (BIFA) has given a cautious welcome to the news that the UK government has confirmed a commitment by the previous administration to invest some GBP 25 billion in England’s road transport infrastructure.
BIFA director general Robert Keen says: “Whilst the government’s announcement does not appear to be additional funding to that announced by the previous administration, it does offer some clarity on where the funds will be spent between 2020 and 2025, with 14 of England's major roads being upgraded, including the widening of the A12, the key artery to and from the port of Felixstowe.“ (ben)
