§ Mr. McNamaraasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects the remaining stages of the M62 to be completed.
§ Mr. MarksThe easternmost section of the M62 from Howden to the western end of the A63 Caves bypass is to open on Thursday 19th February. The second carriageway of the Caves bypass, which is being converted to dual carriageway standards, will be opened on the same day. I expect the River House Bridge to be completed in the spring. The only other section of the M62 which is not yet fully opened is the westernmost three and a half miles between Tarbock and Queen's Drive, Liverpool. The eastbound carriageway is already in use and the westbound carriageway should be opened this summer.
