HC Deb 19 June 1989 vol 155 cc26-7W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what are his current proposals for the improvement of the Shrewsbury-Aberystwyth trunk road from the Shropshire/Powys border; if any studies have been carried out to estimate increases in traffic load on the road between its present time and the year 2000; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Selective improvements of the A458/A483/A489/A470/A44 route are planned, and shown in "Roads in Wales 1989". The "National Traffic Forecasts (Great Britain) 1989" published on 18 May covers this route; a major traffic survey has recently been carried out by the Department on the A483 north of Newtown.
