HC Deb 01 March 1993 vol 220 c39W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what changes in vehicles per day are expected, resulting from proposals for an Ml-M62 link road(a) yellow route and (b) purple route, for junctions 38 to 39 of the M1.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

The yellow route option is forecast to increase traffic on the MI between junctions 38 and 39 by about 8,000 vehicles per day in the opening year and the purple route to reduce traffic by about 31,000 vehicles per day.

Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessments of the cost factors have been undertaken for changes in traffic volume between junctions 38 and 39 of the M1, within proposals for an M1-M62 link road.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

The cost factors have been assessed by predicting the carriageway provision that would be required where the traffic flow is forecast to change from the level of normal growth, as a result of the route options for an M1-M62 link road.
