HC Deb 27 July 1953 vol 518 c82W
62. Mr. Ross

asked the Minister of Transport if he will authorise the widening of the railway bridge in Parkhouse Road, Ardrossan, on trunk road A.78.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

No. As I informed the hon. Member for South Ayrshire on 20th July, strengthening of bridges must take precedence in present circumstances over widening. In this case widening would necessitate substantial work to the abutments and delay the redecking of the bridge to a greater strength.
