Three lanes for Lancaster by-pass

RK is to start this month on widening both carriageways of the Lancaster by-pass on M6 from two to three lanes and will take about " eight months to complete.
The need to widen the by-pass, opened in 1960, follows the increase in the traffic using it since the road was linked to the rest of M6. When it was designed it was anticipated that third lanes would be required at a later date and the centre verge was purposely made 37 ft. wide to allow for this. No additional land has had to be acquired.
SHOWN here in prototype form on a Leyland tractive unit is a fork-lift loading attachment which is to be exhibited, on a more modem chassis model, at the forthcoming Mechanical Handling Exhibition in London. It differs fundamentally from the fork-lift adaptation being built by HBR Metal Industries Ltd. (COMMERCIAL MOTOR, March 18) in that, instead of having telescopic masts mounted at the front of vehicle, it is rear-mounted on the chassis and has masts that fold flat to lie along the main frame. The device has been developed by F. G. Wilson and Sons, Millbrook Works, Millbrook Road, Lisburn, Co. Antrim, NI. The forks fold automatically and the driver can erect the fork-lift and ready it for work without leaving the cab of the tractive unit.
