Welsh Office

Question: Pursuant to his Answer of 12th March, Official Report, column 240W, on the Baglan Bridge, if he will take steps to provide facilities to segregate smaller vehicles on the occasions it is safe for them to use the bridge.

Answer: Mr. John Morris: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, pursuant to his answer of 12 March, Official Report, column 240, on the Baglan bridge, if he will take steps to provide facilities to segregate smaller vehicles on the occasions when it is safe for them to use the bridge. [21151] Mr. Gwilym Jones: Due to the preceding interchanges not being suitable for upgrading to provide segregation facilities, and the fact that a suitable adjacent alternative route is available, it is not proposed to provide segregation. Efforts are being concentrated on improving driver information about closure arrangements by the provision of electronic message signing.
