HC Deb 03 December 2001 vol 376 c31W
Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions if he will list the road schemes costing more than £5 million initiated in England and Wales since 1997 which are complete. [19755]

Mr. Jamieson

The following information covers England only. The provision of road schemes within Wales is a matter for the National Assembly for Wales.

The following road schemes in England costing more than £5 million have been completed as a result of decisions made since 1997 to begin construction on them:

  • Trunk Roads
    • A1 Tempsford Junction Improvements
    • A50 Derby Southern Bypass (Contract B)
    • M60 Denton-Middleton Contract 3
  • Local Roads
    • A6002/A6007 Coventry Lane Imp.
    • Seaham Town Centre Link
    • Bridgwater Northern Distributor Road.

Further trunk and local roads are currently under construction and will be opening over the course of the next two years and many more will follow as schemes accepted as part of local transport settlements or which have been added to the Government's targeted programme of improvements complete their statutory procedures.
