§ Mr. Harry GreenwayTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects the road works on Westway and the A40(M) in Paddington to be completed; what work will have been done and at what cost; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ChopePhase I of the rewaterproofing of the A40(M) Westway, which started in September 1991, should be completed by the end of February 1992, providing there are no periods of adverse weather. By then, almost three fifths of Westway will have been rewaterproofed and resurfaced. The estimated cost of phase I is £4.25 million.
Phase II is planned to start in June 1992 and take about five months. It will complete the resurfacing of Westway and include the rewaterproofing of the A40(M)/M41 roundabout and the Wood lane flyover.
When the works are completed, major resurfacing on Westway will not be necessary for many years, and the waterproofing should last for at least 20 years.
