§ 37. Mr. Madelasked the Minister of Transport what was the cost of recent repairs to the bridges over the M1 between Luton and Hemel Hempstead; how long he expects it to be before further repairs either to the bridges or the road surface in this section of the M1 will be necessary; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeThe repairs to these three bridges cost about £100,000.
The work involved the provision of a waterproofing layer between the road surface and the bridge structure. Two further bridges will require waterproofing in the near future, but there are no immediate plans for any carriageway works.
