Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether a copy of the internal departmental report on the business case for York Street interchange will be made available.


Answer:
The York Street Interchange project utilises an innovative Early Contractor Involvement delivery strategy. This strategy will allow construction to commence as quickly as possible should the necessary funds become available. Due to the nature of this strategy, the business case has not yet been finalised.
The most recent economic appraisal figures for the scheme are contained within the Traffic and Economic section of the Proposed Scheme Report. This report was published, along with the scheme’s draft Statutory Orders and Environmental Statement, in January 2015. The Proposed Scheme Report can be accessed via the project’s website (www.yorkstreetinterchange.com).
