The Welsh government has scrapped all major road-building projects in order to focus on infrastructure initiatives that “reduce carbon emissions and support a shift to public transport, walking and cycling”.
Lee Waters, deputy minister for economy and transport, unveiled the decision as part of the country’s ‘National Transport Plan’.
“We will still invest in roads,” Waters said during the announcement. “In fact, we are building new roads as I speak, but we are raising the bar for where new roads are the right response to transport problems.
