The UK government’s third Road Investment Strategy (RIS3), released on August 26, emphasizes the importance of motorways and trunk roads as vital economic assets, highlighting that delays and infrastructure deterioration hinder progress. The strategy allocates £25 billion to improve the Strategic Road Network (SRN), which Logistics UK supports, noting that poor road conditions burden businesses. The strategy aims to enhance network reliability, prioritize key freight routes, and address freight sector needs, with a call for effective delivery and sustainable funding to improve the SRN by 2031.
