HC Deb 29 June 1987 vol 118 c36W
39. Mr. Greg Knight

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how many bypasses there are in the forward programme for road construction.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

There arc over 170 bypass or relief road schemes in the road programme, 20 of which are currently under construction.

Other major road improvements which are not primarily bypasses also relieve communities of traffic.
