The Scottish Government has set out plans for transport in its budget.

It says in 2025-26, it intends to spend nearly £1.1 billion to ensure Scotland’s trunk road network is well maintained and enhanced, and progress major road projects, including dualling the A9 (pictured) and improving the A83.

It adds that a key aspect of work is road safety, to reduce injuries and deaths on trunk and local roads, while decarbonisation of transport and making travel more sustainable is an increasingly important part of the portfolio’s work, as is adapting the road network to the impacts of climate change.

It adds the portfolio’s spending plans aim to help Transport Scotland develop and maintain a sustainable, safe, inclusive and accessible transport system.
