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 of funding for future roads. Major Road Network Strategic Road Network RIS2 – Statement of Funds Consultation on scope and process for funding MRN Available later 2017
Raising the pace of investment 3.0 300 Traffic (bn vehicle miles) Investment (£bn) 2.0 200 1.0 100 0.0 0 1960-61 1970-71 1980-81 1990-91 2000-01 2010-11 2020-21
What is RIS2? RIS2, like RIS1, will be more than just a list of investments Strategic Vision Performance Specification What government wants to achieve with What performance is expected across the the network network Statement of Funds Available Investment Plan What money is available to fund activities Where improvements will be made to and improvements the network
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 of transport.
Which means – more ambition

MNWQ Scene Setting MNWQ is being delivered in two parts: Highways England are responsible for TfN and TfGM are responsible for delivering the Strategic Road Network delivering the Multi Modal and Local study known as the MNWQ SRN study Road Network study, known as the MNWQ MM study.

Stage 1 – Where are we?
Key challenges – strategic planning and growth
Connectivity Peter Farrer MNWQ SRN Engineering Lead 28
Connectivity – Interventions
Topography 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 High The Irwell Valley presents a constraint on tunnel vertical alignments, particularly if links are to be provided to the M61 due to Medium its close proximity. Low
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
Environment Pete Simpson MNWQ SRN Environmental Lead 32
Environmental Constraints 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 options The maps on the slides show an example of some of the constraints data collected; flood risk, ecology and cultural heritage Example high level environmental constraints Flood risk

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

Multi Modal (MM) Update Nicola Kane Head of Strategic Planning and Research, Transport for Greater Manchester 40
Purpose of the Study • 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.
Scope Considerations GMSF Allocations Travel Demand Management Local Rail Freight Transport Capacity Policy Objectives Public Impacts of Transport SRN Capacity interventions
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.
