§ Lieut. - Colonel Bromley - Davenportasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what plans he has for eventually incorporating a flyover in the new road to extend Kingsway, Manchester, over the Mersey and the railway and by-p Ass Cheadle, rejoining the A.34 near the Cheadle Royal Hospital; and what steps, in general, are being taken to avoid level intersections on this bypass, so that it may best be able to fulfil its function in facilitating traffic in and out of Manchester from the Wilmslow and Alderley area.
§ Mr. WatkinsonOn present traffic estimates the provision of a flyover at the junction with the Stockport—Altrincham trunk road (A.560) is not justified. If traffic ever increases so much as to make one worth while I will then consider the matter with the Cheshire County Council, who are the highway authority for the new road. The other intersections will form T-junctions with minor access roads, on which traffic is expected to be light. No separation of levels will, therefore, be necessary.
