HC Deb 29 October 1990 vol 178 c358W
Mr. Butler

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give a report on progress on modernising the road network in north Wales.

Sir Wyn Roberts

Excellent progress has been made to date on upgrading the A55 between Chester and Bangor to dual carriageway standard; 51 miles are complete, 7.6 miles are under construction, and only one scheme, the Aber improvement, remains in the forward programme. With the completion of the Chirk bypass early next year, the upgrading of the 16 miles of the A483 in Clwyd will be completed.
