HC Deb 14 November 1974 vol 881 c241W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if he will make a statement on why he decided to allow the rebuilding and realignment of Flotterstone Bridge on the A702;

(2) what will be the cost of rebuilding and realigning Flotterstone Bridge on the A702.

Mr. William Ross

This project is in a programme, foreshadowed in the White Paper "Scottish Roads in the 1970s" (Cmnd. 3953), for replacing inadequate bridges and viaducts on trunk roads. The bridge is weak and on a poorly aligned section of road. The latest estimate of cost is about £180,000.
