HC Deb 10 July 1974 vol 876 c476W
41. Mr. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress is being made in the building of the new bridge over the Wear at Sunderland; and when the new road will be open to traffic.

Mr. Carmichael

I expect at least one carriageway over the bridge to be ready for traffic by September. The second carriageway should be completed soon afterwards.
