HA to come under scrutiny from NAO

The Highways Agency (HA) is to come under the scrutiny of the National Audit Office (NAO) over the use of its £250m resources.

Due out later this year, the report will look at how the HA could improve congestion using the existing road network.

The investigation will include research into the HA's data and documentation and will use case studies on completed road projects.

Evidence will also be taken using surveys from road users, experts and other key stakeholders.

Comparisons will also be made with other international highways authorities.
