answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2023 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of the A30 as a key strategic route into and through Cornwall. Widening of the 2.8-mile section between Temple and Higher Carblake was completed in 2017 as part of RIS1. We are currently upgrading the A30 into a dual carriageway north of Truro between Chiverton and Carland Cross, as part of RIS2. This £330 million scheme will mean the A30 will be a continuous dual carriageway from the M5 to Camborne. National Highways is assessing the viability of options for improvements to the A30 from Camborne to Penzance. This work, which is at an early stage, will inform possible enhancements as part of future Road Investment Strategies beyond 2030.</p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 23/10/2023 11:08:23 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden
