Some £25m has been allocated in a first allocation from the £170m ‘local pinch point fund’.
Four of the 10 schemes are expected to start in the next few weeks, with the others starting over the coming year.
The list of schemes is below.
Transport secretary Patrick McLoughlin said: “Tackling bottlenecks on the highway network will help keep get the country moving and the economy growing. I want to see this work underway and shovels in the ground as soon as possible, so today I am announcing £25m to fast track the first 10 schemes.”
