HC Deb 21 June 1979 vol 968 c691W
Mr. Eggar

asked the Minister of Transport on what date the construction of the South Mimms to A10 section of the M25 is due to be completed.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The section of the M25 between South Mimms and the A111 at Potters Bar is open to traffic. Work on the section between the A111 and the A10 has just started and the contract completion date is June 1981.

Mr. Eggar

asked the Minister of Transport on what date the construction of the A10 to M11 section of the M25 is due to commence.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

This section of the M25 motorway is divided into three lengths as follows:

Length and Start of Works

  • A10 to River Lea Navigation—February 1980 (Advance works for the bridge under the railway are already in progress).
  • River Lea Navigation to A121—March 1980.
  • A121 to M11—June 1980.

These dates are subject to the satisfactory completion of statutory procedures and to the availability of funds. Additionally, the length from A121 to M11 is subject to the City of London (Various Powers) Bill now before the House. This will enable land forming part of Epping Forest to be made available for the construction of part of this length of the motorway.
