The first group of nine expressways is expected to include the A303 and A30 from the junction with the M3 in Hampshire to Exeter.
The A1 north of Newcastle, which motorists have long campaigned to be made into a motorway, is another, as is the A14 from Huntingdon to Cambridgeshire.
These will also link with up to 400 miles of ‘smart motorways’ where hard shoulders are used at peak times to reduce jams.
A dual carriageway is planned for ‘the entire A303 from the M3 to the M5 at Taunton’, as well as building a tunnel as the road passes Stonehenge.
There will also be a new bypass on the A27 at Arundel together with improvements at Worthing and Lancing in West Sussex.
Also featuring will be construction of the Mottram Moor link road together with overtaking and safety improvements and duelling the A61 to improve Trans-Pennine connectivity.
A range of duelling and junction improvement schemes on the A47/A12 corridor supporting growth at Peterborough, Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft is also planned.

The youngest EMD diesel-electric locomotives in New Zealand are Kiwi Rail's DFT class. Thirty of these locomotives were constructed by the then Canadian subsidiary of GM'sElectro-Motive Division. As originally supplied in 1979, they were 1500 HP non-tubo powered. In the early 90s the class was progressively fitted with turbocharging which raised their power to 2250HP.......the T in the DFT class designation is for the Tubocharging. Brightstar enhaced traction packages are now being added to the class and they will all become known as DFB's. This example number 7335 is seen near Kaiwharawhara. The DFT's are a common sight at the head of the Capital Connection these days, with the GE DXB's also making occasional appearances.
