Bridges: Downton

Robert Key
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether the Tannery bridge replacement project at Downton, Wiltshire is funded by his Department under the EU bridge strengthening programme; and what (a) the original scheme cost estimate, (b) the tender price agreed with the contractor and (c) the current estimated out-turn cost of the project are.
