HC Deb 11 May 1983 vol 42 cc325-6W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects the overhead footbridge near the Hoover factory on the A40 to be completed; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

By the end of July.

Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects current road improvements to the A40 between the gyratory system at Hanger lane and the Katyn war memorial to be completed; how this compares with earlier estimated completion dates; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

There are three improvements in hand on this section of the A40.

Work on the Perivale underpass is on schedule and should be completed by late summer 1984.

In Northolt, rebuilding of the bridge over the Grand Union canal is almost finished. The road over the bridge was open to traffic four months ahead of schedule.

Also in Northolt, work on the new underpass at West End road is proceeding well and is now programmed to be completed by early summer 1984. This would be about three months later than first envisaged when works commenced in 1981, but on target since the winter of 1981–82.
