HC Deb 05 April 1990 vol 170 cc770-1W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales for what reason on Sunday 1 April, on the eastbound dual carriageway of the A40 one mile to the west of Carmarthen, speed limits of 50 mph on one stretch, 30 mph on another, together with road signs to the effect that the outside lane was closed, were in force.

Mr. Roberts

Work was completed on the major reconstruction of the A40 west of Carmarthen on 30 March. The cones, which were part of substantial traffic management measures, were removed on 31 March and the warning signs during the afternoon of 1 April. This period was not unreasonable for the amount of work involved.
