HC Deb 16 December 1959 vol 615 cc162-3W
64. Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Minister of Transport when he proposes to start the dualling of A.40 from its junction with the north orbital road at Denham to the top of Red Hill.

Mr. Hay

I cannot yet say when we shall be able to start this work but it will not be for some time.

65. Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Minister of Transport what progress has been made with the dualling of A.40 over the Buckinghamshire-Middlesex border; and when he expects the work to be completed.

Mr. Hay

Tenders for the construction of the viaduct for the second carriageway have just been invited by the Middlesex County Council as our agent authority and work is expected to start early in 1960. We hope that the whole scheme will be completed by the early summer of 1961.
