§ Mr. Duffyasked the Minister of Transport what percentage growth of traffic he expects by 1970 on the A.62 between Huddersfield and Oldham; and what plans he has for the improvement of this road.
§ Mr. MarplesBy 1970 traffic on this section of trunk road A.62 is expected to increase by about 48 per cent. As the Lancashire-Yorkshire motorway will draw off approximately 60 per cent. of traffic from the road, any improvements carried out will be limited to minor widening works to improve visibility on bends.
