HC Deb 16 June 1986 vol 99 c463W
Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how long he expects the A19 viaducts over the River Tees to continue in use.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The A19 viaduct over the River Tees was designed to last for 120 years and I have no reason to suppose that, with proper maintenance, this will not prove to he the case.
