  4. Parts of A303 dualling 'may not happen'published at 08:13 British Summer Time 10 June 2019

    Plans to dual the entire length of one of the major roads in and out of the South West will be delayed, and some parts of the project may now not happen.

    In 2014, the Department for Transport (DfT) identified eight stretches to complete the dualling of the A303 trunk road connecting the region to the South East.

    Despite rising costs the DfT maintained it was committed to three of the projects, including the A358 Taunton Link Road, which is now a year behind schedule.

    But the remaining five have been classified as "low to poor value for money", prompting fears they may fall by the wayside.
