Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson
asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the cost of constructing a length of single carriageway 1 mile long.
Mr. Peter Bottomley
Information in the form requested was last published in March 1985 when the average cost of constructing a length of single carriageway road 1 mile long was calculated to be about £1 million.Construction costs of roads vary substantially depending on factors such as location and the need for structures. In view of this, the Department no longer prepares information in the form of average construction cost per mile.
