    I'd like to know the initial calculation of the cost of the congestion which was expected to be caused during the construction phase of the road scheme at the M25/A3 junction. And, what revised calculation has been carried out now that the scheme is scheduled to take longer than planned.

  7. Final project cost for the A27 at Arundel

    Thank you for getting your team to deal with my request over the project costs. As I understand it there have been a number of figures bandied about as to the final projected project cost for the A27 at Arundel. Could I please ask as an FOI what the final project cost was for the A27 at Arundel? As far as I am aware the base Grey route had a cost detailed on the PCF Stage 2 version 2.1 Table 8 of £383.6m. The Grey route envisaged in this iteration did not have: - 1. The viaduct, that as previously discussed, from your JOS A27 Corridor 191017 v20 presentation , slide 13, came out as costing £302m in 2017. 2. The rebuilt, two bridges, grade separated junction at Crossbush, that looking at other projects could reasonably have been expected to be c£40m, if the contested three A38 Derby Junctions are budgeted for at £200m-£250m. 3. I assume that the recently reported £86.5m development cost needs to be added to the total. My back of the envelope calculations suggest that construction costs pre pandemic would have been some £725.6 m (383.6+302+40), add 20% to reflect construction cost inflation. ONS Construction output price indices suggest Sept 2019 114.2 March 2023 138.9, an increase of 21.6%, bringing the total construction spend, assuming no inflation post March 2023, it has been 3.38%, to £870.72m. Add the incurred so far development costs as supplied by yourselves and the figure comes to £957.22m If you could confirm that the figure above is in the ball park, or indeed furnish me with the actual working figure as at the time of project deferral? Thank you for your help in this matter. As a follow up to your e mail below, I considered putting in this FOI on line, I was put off this as an option as your web site allegedly has no FOIs having been answered on the A27, which must be wrong as the email had an FOI response attached. Is there a reason for this on the face of it governance failure.
