HC Deb 24 November 1965 vol 721 cc73-4W
Mr. Wolrige-Gordon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are his plans for the future development of trunk roads south of Aberdeen.

Mr. Ross

Thirteen trunk road orders have been made reserving the line of diversions or improvements of trunk road A.92 in the Counties of Kincardine and Angus. The most important of these is the Lower North Water Bridge diversion at the county boundary. Some additional improvements, of which the most important is the Stonehaven bypass, are shown in the county development plans.

No scheme on this road costing over £100,000 is included in the road programme up to 1970 but short sections are being improved as funds permit. Work will be starting very shortly on improvements at Cortens in Kincardineshire and West Newton in Angus.
