Yorkshire and North East

A 670-mile network of motorways and A roads sit at the heart of the transport network in Yorkshire and the North East. From the city roads of Leeds and Newcastle, to rural single carriageways, we keep our region moving.

Providing access to international gateways – from ports at Grimsby and Immingham and Tees and Hartlepool, to airports at Teesside and Leeds-Bradford, our road system supports business growth. It also brings tourism to our stunning natural, cultural and historic attractions.

To make sure our roads work for everyone, as well as the environment we’ve got big plans. By tackling congestion, improving safety and introducing new technology we’ll create better links across the Pennines, to Scotland and beyond - making sure our region’s roads are fit for the future.
