HC Deb 16 June 1978 vol 951 c693W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will indicate the current expected completion dates for the various stages of the M18 and M180; and when he expects work to begin on the trunk road from the Brigg bypass to Grimsby.

Mr. Horam

Those parts of the MI8 and M180 not yet open to traffic are currently due for completion as follows:

  • M18, Wadworth-Armthorpe, February 1978.
  • M180, Thorne-A16, October 1978.
  • A161-Scunthorpe (Brumby Common Link to the A18), January 1979.
  • Scunthorpe Southern By-pass, January 1979.

Subject to the satisfactory outcome of the statutory procedures and to the availability of funds at the time, construction of the new A18 trunk road from the Brigg by-pass to Grimsby could begin about the end of 1979.
