Hi Stewart,

Hundreds of millions of pounds have been spent adding a lane by the Metro Centre, and more again is due to be spent on the A1 bypass by Newcastle. I imagine Highways England would be quite disappointed you hadn’t noticed given the vast amount of taxpayer funds invested in these schemes.

E.g.
Scotswood to North Brunton £140-180m http://roads.highways.gov.uk/projects/a1-scotswood-to-north-brunton/
Birtley to Coal House £250m+

Also after 50 years of promises the A1 is still a single carriageway
