520			_aConsiders how the costs of building and improving roads are estimated and monitored from initial forecasts through to the final cost of schemes. Reveals that the DfT has approved expenditure of over £11bn between 1998 and 2021 for the development of new and existing trunk roads and motorways by the Highways Agency, and nearly £1.7bn on major road schemes which are proposed and developed by local authorities. However, as these schemes have cost more than originally estimated, the report recommends improvements to the estimating and management of scheme costs and improvements in the monitoring and management of road schemes.
