Chiswick Flyover

HC Deb 17 December 1964 vol 704 cc152-4W

Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Minister of Transport if he will state the revised date for the full re-opening of the Chiswick Flyover; and if he will give an undertaking that the traffic systems in operation in Brentford and Chiswick prior to the start of work on the M.4 motorway will be fully restored

Mr. Tom Fraser

The flyover was re-opened on 25th November and the remainder of the Chiswick-Langley M.4 will be opened early next year. I cannot yet give a more precise date, but I am anxious to open this important section of motorway as soon as possible. I cannot yet determine exactly what traffic system will be appropriate to the new traffic needs and patterns that will emerge when the M.4 motorway is open. But I shall, in consultation with the commissioner of police, restore the former traffic system in Brentford and Chiswick as far and as quickly as I can.
