Erskine Bridge

Mr. Teddy Taylor
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what repair works are scheduled to take place on the Erskine Bridge in 1976; and what estimate he has made of the cost of such repairs.

Mr. William Ross
A contract has been placed for work—expected to take about 18 months to complete and to cost about £1 million—resulting from the recommendations of the Merrison Committee on steel box girder bridges.
