§ Mr. John Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Wales when the Baglan Lonlas motorway is to be started; when it is expected to be completed; and in the meantime what proposals he has for easing summer traffic on the Jersey marine bridge.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsSubject to the satisfactory completion of all the necessary preparatory work, the8W scheme is currently scheduled to be started in the period 1984–87, and should take about 3½ years to build. Long traffic delays are not anticipated on the Briton Ferry viaduct and the River Neath bridge and any future maintenance work on these, which will include the painting of the Neath River bridge shortly to be undertaken will be so organised that any interference with traffic is kept to a minimum.
