HC Deb 19 October 1971 vol 823 c111W
Mr. Cockeram

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects the M62 Mid-Wirral Motorway to be open from the new Mersey Tunnel at Wallasey to Eastham.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

The motorway between Hooton interchange and Bidston Moss—including the Moreton Spur—will be opened before the end of the year. The date of opening the new road between Bidston Moss and the second Mersey Tunnel depends on the outcome of the current appraisal of steel box girder bridges on this route. Part is already in use.
