Road Investment Strategy (RIS2) Update

Road continues to dominate transport choices

The National Roads Fund

In July 2015, the government announced the creation of a new National Roads Fund. From 2020 onwards, all of the revenue from Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) raised in England will be reserved for spending on the road

• network. This means there is will be a committed, ring-fenced source
• f funding for future roads.

Strategic Road Network RIS2 – Statement of Funds Available Major Road Network Consultation on scope and process for funding MRN later 2017

Raising the pace of investment

What is RIS2?

Strategic Vision What government wants to achieve with the network Performance Specification What performance is expected across the network Statement of Funds Available What money is available to fund activities and improvements Investment Plan Where improvements will be made to the network

RIS2, like RIS1, will be more than just a list of investments

Key Aims of RIS2

Surrounding Influences

New Partners

We are also dealing with the emergence of four new sub- national transport bodies:

• Transport for the North
• Midlands Connect
• England’s Economic Heartland
• Transport for the South East

Add these to the existing devolved transport administrations, local authorities and local enterprise partnerships, plus a host of local campaigns.

Which means – more connection

There is now more scope for roads policy to join up with other government priorities or other aspects

• f transport.

Which means –more ambition

MNWQ Scene Setting

MNWQ is being delivered in two parts:

TfN and TfGM are responsible for delivering the Multi Modal and Local Road Network study, known as the MNWQ MM study. Highways England are responsible for delivering the Strategic Road Network study known as the MNWQ SRN study

MNWQ Objectives

Economy/Growth

Support the delivery of the Northern Powerhouse by ensuring the MNWQ enables transformational growth in the employment, housing and the economic

• utput of the North

Network Capability

Create a more reliable, less congested and better connected transport network that works for the users who rely on it.

Environment

Maximise opportunities for a net improvement to the environment and minimise adverse impacts particularly to air quality and noise

Stage 1 – Where are we?

Key challenges – strategic planning and growth

Connectivity

Peter Farrer

MNWQ SRN Engineering Lead 28

Connectivity – Interventions

Topography

High Medium Low

This heat map shows the topography around the M60 Junction 15 (M61) There is over 50m difference between the lowest and highest points in the area The Irwell Valley presents a constraint on tunnel vertical alignments, particularly if links are to be provided to the M61 due to its close proximity.

Ground Engineering and Coal Mining

This plan shows the recorded coal mine workings in the area, there will also be deeper workings present that are unrecorded

Environmental Constraints

Example high level environmental constraints Flood risk Constraints mapping is carried out for two main purposes at Stage 1:

• To provide a clear, visual tool

showing locations of key environmental constraints, to be used in the development of options

• To capture details of all relevant

environmental constraints to inform the environmental assessment of

• ptions

The maps on the slides show an example of some of the constraints data collected; flood risk, ecology and cultural heritage

Environmental Constraints

Environmental Constraints

Example high level environmental constraints - Heritage

Tunnelling Pros and Cons

• Avoidance of habitats / protected sites
• Avoiding noise impacts on communities
• Potential to improve air quality
• Fewer visual/landscape impacts
• Avoidance of shallow contaminated soils
• Surface features – portals/ventilation shafts
• Construction Impacts - getting to depth
• Groundwater contamination / drainage impacts
• Sterilisation of mineral resources
• Volume of materials used/waste

Multi Modal (MM) Update

Nicola Kane

Head of Strategic Planning and Research, Transport for Greater Manchester 40

• Revisit the non-SRN interventions to increase confidence in their scope and deliverability
• Explore additional opportunities on the local road network and sustainable modes to further support the

SRN project.

• Explore the broader impacts of the SRN interventions on the local transport network
• Ensure the overall package meets both strategic and local needs.

Purpose of the Study

Scope Considerations

Public Transport Capacity Rail Freight Capacity Travel Demand Management Impacts of SRN interventions GMSF Allocations Local Transport Policy Objectives

Multi Modal Strategic Case

Development of the Strategic Case to identify issues and opportunities relating to the local transport

• network. This considers:
• Impact of the SRN interventions on the network.
• Implications of development proposals relating to the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework.
• Walking and cycling issues, particularly at intersections with the SRN.
• Issues and opportunities for the rail, bus and Metrolink networks.
• Air quality and noise issues.

Challenges in relationship to the key spatial themes:
