In 2023, the motorway length in the UK stood at approximately 3.84 thousand kilometers. From 2024 to 2028, there is a gradual forecasted growth, increasing from 3.85 to 3.88 thousand kilometers. The year-on-year variation is modest, indicating a stable expansion. Specifically, from 2024 to 2028, the average annual growth rate is projected to be minimal.
Future trends to watch include the potential impact of sustainable and smart mobility initiatives on infrastructure planning. Additionally, monitoring the growth of electric vehicle adoption and its effects on motorway development is crucial for assessing long-term infrastructure needs.
