Highways Agency Reports

The Highways Agency recognises that highways have an adverse impact upon the environment in many ways, and that it must explore all means of securing the delivery of an efficient, reliable, safe and envirinmentally acceptable trunk road network. It further recoginises that it must explore all possible ways of reducing the invironmental ompact of new road schemes, as an alternative to or in combination with current solutions such as the use of environmental barriers and landscaping, which on their own can only offer a limited degree of mitigation. It is this that is the concern of this report.
