HC Deb 01 July 1986 vol 100 c487W
Mr. Pike

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the alternative routes provided to avoid the M63 widening road works; and what arrangements have been made for the control of traffic on that section of the M63.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

A number of alternative routes for both local and long distance traffic are signposted and given extensive publicity by the media. An explanatory leaflet is available to motorists. The police operate a closed circuit television surveillance system and electronic variable message signs to monitor and control traffic on the approach roads to the works.
