Answer
The DfI budget for the A5 scheme for the 2025-26 financial year is £165m which is now subject to review. Budgets have not yet been agreed for the 2026-27 financial year, however, this remains an Executive flagship project. Annual budget allocations to the scheme will be subject to Executive and Assembly approval as part of the statutory budget process.
