<p>This Government recognises the importance of transport infrastructure to support
the economy and, as set out in the National Infrastructure Plan 2013, has already
announced over £28 billion of funding for enhancements and maintenance of national
and local roads</p><p> </p><p>The specific schemes identified in the National Infrastructure
Plan 2013 have the ability to complete or begin their construction in the next Parliament.
Proposals for improvements to the A120 between Braintree and Marks Tey are not yet
sufficiently developed to be included in the Highways Agency pipeline of future projects,
and are therefore not currently included in the National Infrastructure Plan.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>However, the A120 is being looked at by the Highways Agency as part
of its work on the East of England Route Strategy, which will look to determine the
nature, need and timing of future investment that might be required. I would encourage
you to engage with the Highways Agency's route strategy process.</p>
