§ Mr. HuttonTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to upgrade the A590 between Lindale and Barrow-in-Furness to a dual carriageway; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Kenneth Carlisle[holding answer 12 November 1992]: A bypass of Lindale is included in the A590 Ulverston to Dalton dual carriageway proposal on which a public consultation has been completed.
While the A590 Dalton bypass scheme now under construction is to wide single carriageway standard, the provision of a climbing lane will satisfy projected traffic needs. There are no plans to dual this section.
