Reconstruction of the A629 between the end of the dual carriageway at Elland and Rookery Lane, just to the north, to provide two continuous lanes in each direction. The existing junction with the A6026 and B6112 at Elland Wood Bottom will be substantially rebuilt to improve traffic flow.
Improvement work to the existing A64 to alleviate persistent congestion and slow-moving traffic north-east of York. At present Highways England are working on options for this scheme which will then go to a public consultation.
Improvements to the A164 between Castle Road Roundabout, west of Cottingham, and Victoria Road Roundabout, south of Beverley, including full reconstruction of the interchange with the A1079.
Despite the name of this scheme, the improvements are not restricted to Jock's Lodge Junction and actually involves on-line dualling of the A164 over a length of 5.5km (3.5 miles).
Improvements to a range of junctions on the M621, to be constructed as a single coordinated scheme. Despite the name of the project, the improvement work will take place specifically at junctions 2, 2A, 3 and 7 of the motorway and the other junctions will not be affected.
Construction of a new dual two-lane road from the M1 at junction 46 (Thorpe Park) to the existing A6120 Outer Ring Road at Red Hall, just west of the A58. The new road will replace the existing Outer Ring Road between these points and will be part of the A6120. The existing Outer Ring Road will be downgraded to a lower status.
Formerly known as the Finningley and Rossington Regeneration Route Scheme, this scheme will provide a new road from M18 at junction 3 to Robin Hood Airport, also serving the new iPort railfreight terminal at Rossington. Most of the road will be single two-lane but the westernmost part connecting to the M18 is dual two-lane standard.
Phase 1, connecting the M18 and the A638, was opened in 2016. Construction of Phase 2, from the A638 to the airport, will start in 2017 and is due to take one year.
A new single two-lane road around the east side of Wakefield, skirting the periphery of the urban area to open up land for new development. The new road is expected to remove some traffic from Wakefield city centre and to enable eastward expansion of the city into land where 2,500 new houses are planned.
Upgrade of the existing dual carriageway A1 between Leeming Bar and Barton to a dual three-lane motorway. This scheme will remove the last remaining all-purpose section of A1 between West Yorkshire and Gateshead, and will finally connect the north-east conurbation of Newcastle, Gateshead and Sunderland to the national motorway network.
Provision of a new grade separated junction on the A63 in Hull, with the aim not just of improving traffic flow, but also improving access to the port of Hull, and reconnecting Hull city centre with the river by reducing the barrier effect of the current A63.
This will be achieved by lowering the level of Castle Street by 7 metres into a cutting, as part of the grade separation of the Mytongate junction. Ferensway and Commercial Street would be raised by a metre to pass over the junction.
Upgrade of the M1 between junctions 32 (Thurcroft) and 35A (Hood Hill) to provide Smart Motorway technology. The upgraded road will have equipment to allow the use of variable speed limits and emergency refuge areas.
The hard shoulder will be converted to a permanent running lane for the full length of the scheme, meaning that this section of motorway will then have four running lanes and occasional emergency lay-bys but no hard shoulder. The Tinsley Viaduct will carry three traffic lanes plus hard shoulders.
Construction of a new single two-lane road bypassing Bedale, Leeming Bar and Aiskew, and linking to the new A1(M) upgrade.
For a number of years the scheme was held up for financial reasons, and the initial plan to open the road at the same time as the adjoining new motorway did not come to pass. It is instead being built at the same time as the next phase of the A1(M) works.
As well as relieving Bedale town centre, the bypass will improve access to the motorway from Northallerton and the Dales.
New bypass to allow HGV traffic to access the Port of Immingham while avoiding village. A new single-carriageway link will be built from the existing A180-A1173 junction to the B1210 Stallingborough Road, and existing roads used to form a route avoiding the village.
The Port is due to be expanded by Able UK with landfill into the Humber in order to provide a North Sea wind turbine manufacture and service site.
Upgrade of the M1 between junctions 28 (Pinxton) and 31 (Aston) to Smart Motorway. This will involve installation of electronic equipment to enable the use of variable speed limits and the installation of emergency refuge areas. It will also see the hard shoulder converted into a fourth permanent running lane. The completed motorway will not have a hard shoulder.
Upgrade of the M1 between junctions 39 (Durkar) and 42 (Lofthouse) to Smart Motorway. Equipment will be installed to provide variable speed limits and emergency refuge areas along the full length of the road, and hard shoulder running will be possible to provide extra capacity at times of congestion.
This scheme replaces an earlier proposal to widen this section of M1 to full dual four-lane standard, which was withdrawn in favour of a series of Smart Motorway projects from Chesterfield to Leeds.
This scheme proposed on-line widening of the M1 between Chesterfield and the M62 (junctions 29 to 42) to dual-four lane standard. From Chesterfield to the M18 and between Wakefield and the M62 the route would be fully upgraded to dual-four lane with full hard shoulders. The remainder of the route (including the whole section through Sheffield) would be widened to dual four-lane without hard shoulders, but with a wide hard-strip and emergency refuges every kilometre. Advanced signal gantries would also be installed.
Upgrade of the existing A160 in anticipation of predicted rapid growth in traffic using the Port of Immingham in the next 10 to 15 years.
The single-carriageway sections of the road between the port entrance and the junction with the A180 will be upgraded to dual two-lane standard.
The work also includes the following:
