HC Deb 17 July 1974 vol 877 cc205-6W
Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement over the delay over completing the footbridge on the A63 at Hessle; and if he will give the proposed date of completion.

Mr. Carmichael

The layout of the footbridge site calls for a structure with non-standard components and to ensure complete safety, detailed checks of tenderers' structural design calculations are necessary. On completion of these a contract will be let. It is hoped that erec- tion of the bridge will be completed early next year.
