HC Deb 01 July 1987 vol 118 c88W
Mr. Maxwell-Hyslop

asked the Secretary of State for Transport for how long it is intended to close the London end of the M4 motorway at night; and whether there is any way by which one lane of it each way could be left open.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Alternative closures of the east bound and west bound carriageways at the London end of the M4 motorway are expected to continue until Friday 17 July. The maintenance work being undertaken is the replacement of bridge expansion joints. Safety considerations require the whole carriageway in one direction to be closed while the work is in progress.
