§ Mr. John MorrisTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is the design load of that part of the road from Baglan to the point of the road over the bridge at the roundabout for Swansea or Carmarthen; and whether it has been exceeded in each of the last 10 years.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe existing road is heavily loaded, but no single traffic capacity figure is available since that depends on many factors, especially junctions. Delays tend to occur particularly at peak periods at Baglan roundabout, but work will start shortly on a scheme to alleviate this. Further relief will be achieved with the completion of the final section of the M4 in 1994.
