Futures
You are here: Home - Futures
There's nowhere on the internet that you can see a comprehensive listing of every major road project currently underway or planned for the near future. Futures is a listing of the major things going on at the moment in road construction and maintenance, with detailed information about each scheme. This is the only place on the internet that brings together work being carried out by both national and local government, and across England, Scotland and Wales. Click on a scheme below to read more.
If you have information on a scheme I haven't yet listed, or if you can update or correct an existing entry, please share your knowledge!

CBRD Pet Project
As part of the "futures" project, CBRD has adopted a new pet project, to follow from start to finish. On the page below, details of the East Leeds Link Road will be updated every few months as construction begins. The choice of the scheme is, of course, nothing whatsoever to do with the East Leeds Link being less than four miles from my home.
