    Investment in Scotland’s essential infrastructure will be a strong focus of the SNP government’s budget when it is published today, finance secretary John Swinney has said.

    The minister made the pledge on a visit to a £228 million college “super campus” in Glasgow yesterday, saying that investment in infrastructure would rise to £4.17 billion next year.

    plans include securing £8bn of infrastructure investment over the next two years

    that should build Keith 4 more bridges or a few more miles of dualed A-roads.

    As discussed previously, here's what they will be investing in and approximately when:

    Infrastructure Investment Plan 2011: 3. WHAT WE WILL INVEST IN

    Here's where the money is coming from and when (like a cashflow projection): ANNEX B: PROJECTED PROJECT PIPELINE

    Here's the detail, including (ballpark) budgets. The order is very telling. Top five are Forth bridge, High Speed Rail, EGIP, A90 Aberdeen bypass, A90 (also Aberdeenshire). Note no money set aside for 'low carbon transport', or maybe the money's so tiny it doesn't merit mention: ANNEX C: ADDITIONAL DETAIL ON INVESTMENTS IN THE PROJECTED PIPELINE

    Kappers gave us the updated pipeline this time last year.
    January 2013 Scottish Government Infrastructre Investment Pipeline is published
    Presumably there's another update coming out today?
