Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, pursuant to AQW 5118/17-22, (i) where the project currently sits in regards to her departmental priorities; and (ii) whether she can provide a timeline for the project.

Answer:

I recognise the strategic importance of the York Street Interchange. Its inclusion in the New Decade New Approach Agreement is a further indication of the significance of the project to our economic and societal wellbeing and I am determined to see it delivered.

Following completion of the short, sharp external review I have commissioned to ensure an approach to the scheme that is future-proofed and forward looking, I will be engaging with Executive colleagues to secure sufficient capital funding from future Spending Reviews to drive the delivery of a range of essential infrastructure projects as outlined in New Decade New Approach, including York Street Interchange.
