§ Mr. Harold Walkerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what action he proposes to take to relieve the increasing congestion of the A638 road in the borough of Doncaster, and particularly the bottleneck at Cantley Bridge.
§ Mr. Michael HeseltineDoncaster County Borough Council, which is the highway authority for the A638 within the borough, has proposed, at the northern end, dualling of North Bridge Road and, near the southern end, an improvement of the junction with Cantley Lane, near Cantley Bridge. These schemes are being considered for the principal road preparation list. The central section will be relieved by the Inner Ring Road, the first stage of which, from North Bridge Road to Cleveland Street, is already open to traffic. The remaining stage, from Cleveland Street to Bennetthorpe, and schemes to provide 405W flyovers at the junctions with North Bridge Road and Cleveland Street are in preparation.
