HC Deb 21 November 1962 vol 667 cc1194-5
13. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the estimated time required to complete the Forth Road Bridge and its approach roads.

Mr. Noble

I understand that, given reasonable weather this winter, the contractors expect the bridge to be open to traffic towards the end of 1963.

Mr. Woodburn

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that to the travelling public it is a bit of a puzzle to understand exactly how all these approach roads will fit in? As I expect that he has a model which shows this vary interesting solution of the complicated approaches, will he arrange for this model to be available in the Royal Scottish Academy or the National Gallery so that the people of Edinburgh may see exactly what is happening?

Mr. Noble

I will look into the possibility of alerting people in Scotland as to the exact development of these approach roads.
