Question
To ask the Scottish Government how much has been spent on trunk roads in the (a) Aberdeen City, (b) Aberdeenshire, (c) Angus, (d) Dumfries and Galloway, (e) Dundee, (f) Fife, (g) Highland, (h) Moray, (i) Perth and Kinross, (j) Scottish Borders and (k) Stirling council area in each year since 1999, broken down by type of expenditure.
Answer
We are committed to the largest road investment programme that Scotland has ever seen. By the end of this financial year (2016-17), we will have spent over £8 billion on our Motorways and Trunk Road Network since 2007, to ensure the strategic road network is safe, available for use, efficient, well maintained and allows effective movement of people, goods and services around and to and from Scotland.
On-Going Schemes
Since 2007, the Scottish Government has invested in a number of major roads projects, including:
|

Investment |
|
Forth Replacement Crossing |
£1.325 to £1.35 billion |
|
Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route/Balmedie-Tipperty |

In addition, the Scottish Government continues to progress the design and development of a number of schemes including the A90/A937 Laurencekirk Junction Improvement and the A90/A96 Haudagain Junction Improvement.
A breakdown by road and local authority area is not possible for incomplete schemes as some of the investments are of a national nature (e.g. Forth Replacement Crossing) and others span a number of local authority areas. However, analysis of spend by year, since 2007-08 can be seen in the following table.
