Infrastructure is currently the most dynamic sector in UK construction, with the volume of work forecast to grow by 8% in real terms during 2009. By 2009, the sector is expected to be worth £7.7bn at 2005 prices, 14.5% of total new-build output. A revival of infrastructure spending is a relatively recent phenomenon, and between 2002 and 2006, annual spending actually fell in real terms by 34%.
