Might be WWII but just got this from the Comprehensive Spending Review

Transport infrastructure
1.32 High quality transport links are essential to underpin a successful economy. In 2014-15,
transport capital investment will be higher in real terms than 2005-06 levels.
1.33 The Spending Review prioritises capital spending on transport projects which can offer
high economic returns when compared to investment projects in other sectors. By focusing
on projects that deliver greater benefits in return for their costs, the positive impact of capital
spending on the wider economy can be maximised:
?? over ?10 billion will be invested over the Spending Review period on maintenance and
investment in new high value road, regional and local transport schemes,10 while seeking
significant cost reductions across the programme. This includes:
?? widening the remaining section of the A11 to provide a continuous dual carriageway link
between Norwich and the M11;
?? improving the junction between the M4 and M5;
?? easing congestion on the M1 between junctions 28 and 31;
?? extending the route and increasing capacity on the Midland Metro;
?? constructing a new suspension bridge over the River Mersey; and
?? upgrades to the Tyne and Wear Metro.
