HC Deb 03 June 1964 vol 695 cc172-3W
65. Sir A. Hurd

asked the Minister of Transport when he expects work will be completed on the north-south relief road through Newbury; and what are the reasons for the delay in constructing the replacement railway bridge which is aggravating the normal traffic congestion in the town.

Mr. Galbraith

Work on the replacement bridge is behind schedule because of delay in the supply of pre-cast beams for the super-structure. But I expect the scheme to be finished well before the contract expires in September, 1965.
