§ Mr. Kimballasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will expedite the reconstruction or destruction of the Crowle Arches viaduct in order to remove a major traffic hazard on the A18 trunk road.
§ Mr. HoramWe are considering urgently what might be done, but first indications are that demolition of the viaduct, which belongs to British Rail, would be very expensive and require closure of the road. Traffic problems on this part of the A18 are expected to be eased when the M180 is opened next year.
