HL Deb 22 April 1999 vol 599 c166WA
Lord Stoddart of Swindon

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the nature of the roadworks on the eastbound section of the A.4 between the Hogarth Roundabout and the Hammersmith flyover; whether it is necessary to close one carriageway to traffic: and whether night and weekend working are planned to speed up completion. [HL2016]

Lord Whitty

I have asked the Chief Executive of the Highways Agency to write to my noble friend.

Letter to Lord Stoddart of Swindon from the Chief Executive of the Highways Agency, Mr. L. Baynes, dated 21 April 1999.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions has asked me to reply to your recent Question about the roadworks on the eastbound carriageway of the A.4 between Hogarth Roundabout and Hammersmith Flyover.

The works being carried out are to provide safety barriers in front of the parapets to the Netheravon Road subway, which is located on the A.4 just east of Hogarth Roundabout. They will provide increased protection to users of the subway. Off-peak daytime work was necessary between 12 and 15 April, as noisy breaking out operations were being carried out, which would have been too disruptive to local residents at night. One lane was closed in each carriageway for the protection of the workforce.

As the noisy works have now been completed, the further operations will now be completed as planned at night and during off-peak periods at weekends.
