Three of these projects will start in autumn this year: 2 in the Midlands - M1 junction 19 to junction 16 in Northamptonshire and the M5 junction 4a to Junction 6 in Worcestershire, and 1 in the North West - M6 junction 16 to junction 19 near Stoke-on-Trent.
The smart motorway schemes, part of the £15 billion government investment Highways England is delivering between now and 2021, will see 292 extra lane miles added to motorways. The hard shoulder will be converted to a traffic lane and signing and technology will tell drivers what speed to drive at, if lanes are blocked or closed and about incidents up ahead.
