Dual Carriageway Roads (Cardiganshire)

HC Deb 31 March 1971 vol 814 cc413-4W

Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many miles of dual carriageway he expects to be in use in Cardiganshire by the end of 1975.

Mr. Peter Thomas

The general policy in areas like Cardiganshire where there are no large towns and where volumes of traffic are relatively light is to improve the roads to good single carriageway standard with lengths of dual carriageway only where local circumstances make this necessary. By the end of 1975 the only such length of road will be at Rhyd-y-felin Hill on the A487, about 0.2 miles.
