Corridor Improvement Programme Phase 2

The Corridor Improvement Programme (CIP) is a programme of low and medium cost highway interventions on strategic highway corridors on the Key Route Network (KRN).

CIP aims to deliver benefits for all road users with an emphasis on reducing journey times, in order to improve connectivity and accessibility to economic growth sites including those located in spatial priority areas.  The aim is also to improve air quality and contribute towards tackling the climate emergency.

Phase 2 of the CIP is to undertake feasibility work to consider wider corridor interventions and strategy development in order to identify further measures to build on the benefits achieved through Phase 1.

8 schemes are now being taken forward under Phase 2 of the programme.
