HC Deb 20 January 1977 vol 924 c296W
Mr. Stainton

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what are the latest all-in cost estimates for the proposed Ipswich southern bypass including river crossing; and what is the anticipated return on such outlay.

Mr. Horam

The estimated cost of the scheme at current prices is £39 million, including £14.1 million for the River Orwell bridge. The economic assessment is now being updated and will be available before any public inquiry opens.
