§ Mr. Don FosterTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans there are for(a) bypasses, (b) road widening and (c) road schemes on the A 140. [71866]
§ Mr. JamiesonThe A140, from Norwich to the A14 in Suffolk, was detrunked in May 2001 and is now the responsibility of Norfolk and Suffolk county councils. The Councils are jointly developing a route management strategy for the A 140, which is expected to be completed later this year. The Strategy will identify a future programme of improvements along this route. Any road 967W improvement schemes, which are identified through this study, will be for the local authority to take forward within the context of their local transport plan.
