§ Mr. David Priceasked the Minister of Transport whether he will authorise the design of standard footbridges of modular construction so that highway authorities can erect such footbridges to enable pedestrians to cross dangerous sections of highways where the need for such bridges may have a limited time duration due to ultimate major improvements.
Mr. Bob BrownA number of standardised types of demountable footbridge for individual spans up to 90 ft. are already available. Special authorisation is therefore not required.
