PROGRAMME
THE Minister of Transport has approved a further extension of the classified roads programme for the South-cast Lancashire and North-east Cheshire conurbation. The programme now covers the years 1966-70 and includes schemes that will cost £5 3m., towards which the Government will contribute some £39m.
Among the more important of the new schemes is the Eccles by-pass, which the Lancashire County Council proposes to construct as a motorway at a cost of more than £5m.
A scheme in Bolton will continue the proposed eastern limb of the town's inner relief road, linking up with the Farnworth/Kearsley by-pass, and the link from the southern end of the by-pass to the Manchester/Preston motorway (M61).
