Mr. Lucasasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether the work now in progress on the West Cromwell Road extension in Brentford and Chiswick is keeping pace with the proposed schedule; and when it is anticipated the northern carriageway to the east of Chiswick Lane will be completed and open to traffic.
§ Mr. WatkinsonThe contract works on the trunk road section of Cromwell Road extension are proceeding satisfactorily and it is hoped to complete the northern carriageway by the end of April, 1957. The southern carriageway will then, however, be closed until about November, 1957, in order that a pedestrian subway may be completed.
Mr. Lucasasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation to state the expenditure incurred on the work now in progress on the West Cromwell Road extension in Brentford and Chiswick up to the latest convenient day; and how much remains to be spent on the road in this borough before the work is complete.
