The following table shows how much the Department (a) has spent (actual spend to date) and (b) plans to spend (forecast future spend) for each project. The table also gives the total projected cost and the current project phase within the project lifecycle (Options-Development-Constructions-Operations).

It was a motorway widening scheme in the former Targeted Programme of Improvements, the first phase of which (widening between junctions 25-28) is under construction. Costs for this scheme are included in the table.
For projects in Options, budgets have only been approved to progress the projects to the end of the current phase. Approval will be sought from Ministers to move to the next phase, together with a new phase budget, at the appropriate time. Ministerial approval will be based on priorities, affordability, completion of statutory processes and the scheme continuing to demonstrate value for money. For these schemes the table gives spend to date and forecast spend to the end of the current phase.
Note that all forecasts are updated monthly as part of financial monitoring and control and therefore reflect the current position as at end December 2009.
