HC Deb 07 December 1960 vol 631 cc146-7W
58. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Transport what progress he has made in the last year in widening the A.30, over long stretches of which overtaking is unsafe.

Mr. Hay

Dual carriageways were provided for lengths of about 1 mile to the East of Hatch and of about 1 mile to the West of the Hawley Cross Roads. Work was started on the dualling of a length of about half a mile between Moor Hill and Hartford Bridge.

Preparations were made for seven other schemes covering a total distance of over 4 miles on which work will be started soon.
