HC Deb 29 April 1960 vol 622 cc25-6W
Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport if he will investigate the possibility of erecting, on roads for which he is responsible, Bailey bridges as temporary flyovers at suitable junctions where permanent flyovers are planned, in order to relieve traffic congestion.

Mr. Marples

The possibility of erecting Bailey bridges at a number of sites on trunk roads has already been investigated. At these sites there were serious objections which led me to decide not to erect these bridges. I am considering whether there are any other sites where I should be justified in erecting them.
