§ 37. Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Minister of Transport what was the cost of building a bridge over Kittoch Burn at East Kilbride; and why so substantial a bridge is needed across so small a burn, despite the estimated future traffic along the main road in question.
Mr. BraithwaiteThe cost of the bridge is £30,253. The bridge was constructed to standards necessary to meet both the estimated needs of future traffic on the Glasgow—Strathaven Class 1 Road and also the new town requirements of East Kilbride Development Corporation.
