§ Baroness Platt of Writtleasked Her Majety's Government:
Why a lane was closed on Queen Elizabeth II bridge at Dartford on 27 July 1997 when no work was in progress.
§ Baroness HaymanThere were no lane closures on the Queen Elizabeth II bridge at Dartford on Sunday 27 July 1997. Cones have been placed between lanes 3 and 4 of the bridge as part of a contingency plan should works to the adjacent tunnel require traffic to be diverted. This contingency has never been implemented and traffic continues to have normal access to all four lanes of the bridge.
