HC Deb 17 January 1968 vol 756 c558W
60. Mr. George Jeger

asked the Minister of Transport whether she is now in a position to make a statement on the provision of a temporary bridge over the canal at Thorne.

Mr. Carmichael:

We have decided that it would be appropriate to provide a temporary bridge over the canal at Thorne. Work is now proceeding as quickly as possible on the detailed design of the bridge and on the preparation of drafts of the statutory Orders necessary for the provision of the bridge and for the introduction of a related one-way system to relieve congestion on the trunk road in Thorne.
