• The elimination of serious congestion on all inter-urban trunk roads by the end of the 1980s---this is the aim of Government plans for roads published last week in a White Paper' which reveals a considerable extension to the schemes put forward in an MoT Green Paper a year ago.
Eleven routes have been added to the Green Paper primary network: all would be improved to dual carriageway standards and many be built as motorways.
The strategy suggested in the Green Paper was for completion between 1982 and 1987-the bigger plan now proposed is scheduled to be finished between 1985 and 1990.
Additional routes for the expanded primary road network are: Calder Valley road; A2 from M2 to Dover; M6-Brownhills (A5); Alcester-Solihull; A49 Whitchurch-Warrington; A17 King's LynnNewark (replacing King's LynnPeterborough route tentatively suggested in Green paper); and A61 Alfreton-Sheffield.
More detailed examination is being given to a further five routes which may justify inclusion; these arc: A route from Bristol to Southampton; new route from Swindon to Milton Keynes via Oxford; improvement of route from Al8 at Brigg to Lincoln (South Humberside network is at present being studied as a whole); continuation of South Coast route from Brighton to Dover; A6 LeicesterKettering.
Roads for the future: the new inter-urban plan for England (HMSO 3s 6d).
