The Major Road Network and Large Local Majors
Midlands Connect has been empowered by Government to work alongside its partner Local Authorities to shortlist and submit priority schemes for development and delivery on the Major Road Network, a new tier of economically-important local ‘A’ roads managed by Local Authorities.
MRN schemes typically cost between £20 and £50 million, whereas bigger schemes known as Large Local Majors usually cost over £50 million (they also don’t have to lie on the Major Road Network). Both should reduce congestion, support all road users and unlock housing and employment growth.
