Roads: A1

Volume 698: debated on Tuesday 29 January 2008

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will set up an inquiry to examine whether delays in traffic on the A1 road, due to road works to the north of Grantham, could have been avoided by better planning. [HL1438]

The Highways Agency will not be setting up an inquiry to examine whether delays in traffic on the A1 due to road works to the north of Grantham could have been avoided by better planning.

The project has been subject to reviews before and during construction to ensure that delays on this route are minimised. Actions adopted by the project to minimise potential delays have included offline construction, minimising single lane contraflow and advance warning of planned works.
