HC Deb 13 March 1968 vol 760 cc338-9W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the main road bridges in Scotland built in the last five years; and on which of these tolls are payable.

Mr. Ross

The only such bridges providing major new estuarial crossings and, therefore, subject to tolls are the Forth and Tay Bridges. Bridges provided in the last five years as parts of new roads or in replacement of older bridges, which are not new estuarial crossings and are, therefore, not subject to tolls, include:

  • Berriedale Bridge, Caithness (A9).
  • Avon Bridge, Hamilton (M74).
  • Cander Water Bridge, Lanarkshire (A71).
  • Motray Burn Bridge, Fife (A919).
  • Chirnside Bridge, Berwickshire (A6105).
  • Whifflet Viaduct, Coatbridge (A725).
