§ Mr. FryTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) how many bridges on the trunk road system are not capable of supporting a gross vehicle weight of 18 tonnes;
(2) how many bridges on the motorway system are not capable of supporting a gross vehicle weight of 18 tonnes.
§ Mr. KeyOur records show that there are three underbridges on motorways and 65 underbridges on all purpose trunk roads in England in which parts of the structure have been assessed as having inadequate capacities for carrying vehicles of 18 tonnes gross weight with the required margins of safety.
