HC Deb 13 May 1964 vol 695 c59W
51. Mr. Swain

asked the Minister of Transport what route the proposed Dronfield bypass on the A.61 Chesterfield to Sheffield road will take; and when work will commence.

Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallett

The bypass will start about one third of a mile north of the junction with Birmington Road in Chesterfield and will run for 4½ miles west of Unstone and Dronfield to rejoin A.61 at the Sheffield City boundary. The Order under Section 7 of the Highways Act, 1959, which established this route was made in August, 1963. I cannot say when a place can be found for this scheme in the road programme.
