HC Deb 23 January 1978 vol 942 c470W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he has any plans to build a dual carriageway in Mid-Wales during the next five years and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Barry Jones

Work recently started on the construction of the Brecon southern and eastern bypass, much of which will be dual carriageway. Other trunk road schemes firmly programmed or in the preparation pool which include lengths of dual carriageway are:

  • A470 Llanidloes bypass
  • A470 Dolgellau bypass
  • A483 Welshpool relief roads

Traffic needs on trunk roads in Mid-Wales can be met generally by the provision of good standard single carriageway roads.
