A1 Doncaster

HC Deb 08 July 1986 vol 101 cc116-7W

Mr. Holt

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when work will commence on widening sections of the A1 north of Doncaster.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Work began last month on widening the Clifton to Stannington section in Northumberland. Construction of a new bypass of Wetherby is planned to start in August. Widening of the Bramham to Wetherby and Wetherby to Dishforth sections could begin in the spring of 1989 subject to the completion of statutory procedures. The need for improving the section between Doncaster and Bramham is being examined as part of the east of Leeds study.
