strategy evidence report A1 Introduction A1.1 Route description M4 Junction 19-20 and M5 Junction 15-17 Smart Motorway Section 1.3 of the main report provides a description of the route and within that description; reference is made to the upgrade of the route to smart motorway between M4 junctions 19 and 20. Further information is provided here in relation to this scheme. The Agency is working to improve the M4 between junctions 19 and 20, and the M5 between junctions 15 and 17, by making it a smart motorway (previously known as managed motorways). Smart motorways help relieve congestion by using technology to vary speed limits. They also allow the hard shoulder to be used as a running lane at peak times to create additional capacity. They deliver these benefits at a significantly lower cost than conventional motorway widening and with less impact on the environment during construction. See pages 8 and 9 for more about smart motorways. Following the October 2010 Spending Review, it was announced in April 2011 that this scheme would be prepared to start construction in early 2012. Works were then officially started on 25 January 2012 by Roads Minister Mike Penning. It was planned to open the scheme to traffic in the fourth quarter (between January and March) of financial year 2013/14. The M4/M5 smart motorway scheme is taking place on the link between the main motorways between London, the West and the Midlands and South-West. It serves the City of Bristol. This work is needed as the route suffers from heavy congestion and unpredictable journey times. The estimated outturn cost of £89 million was approved by the Secretary of State in October 2011 prior to the start of construction. The current forecasted cost for this scheme is £86 million
