§ Mr. Steenasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking to solve the bottleneck that will arise at the Queen's Drive-Rocket flyover, when the west bound carriageway of the M62 opens.
§ Mr. MarksThe full length of the westbound carriageway of the M62 from Tar-bock to Queen's Drive will not be opened until the "Rocket" flyover can be brought into use. This flyover will help the flow of traffic at the new signal controlled junction between Queen's Drive and the A5080 by enabling through traffic on Queen's Drive to pass over the junction.
§ Mr. Steenasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the west carriageway of the M62, culminating at the Rocket flyover, will be completed and open for use.
§ Mr. MarksThe section of the M62 between Bowring Park interchange and Queen's Drive will open to westbound traffic later this month. The rest of the118W westbound carriageway, from Tarbock to Bowring Park Interchange, will not be opened until the "Rocket" flyover can be brought into use. This is expected to be in the late summer.
