Dept for Transport

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he will set a date for the re-surfacing of the A404 Marlow by-pass; whether the A404 Marlow by-pass meets the criteria for remedial action on environmental grounds to reduce noise pollution.

Answer: Mrs. May: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) when he will set a date for the resurfacing of the A404 Marlow by-pass; [155068] (2) whether the A404 Marlow by-pass meets the criteria for remedial action on environmental grounds to reduce noise pollution. [155069] Mr. Darling: The A404 Marlow Bypass is currently in a satisfactory condition as far as safety is concerned and is not expected to require resurfacing within the next few years. As a result, no date has yet been set. However, I can confirm that the A404 Marlow Bypass meets the criteria announced on 22 March 1999 for consideration for remedial action on environmental grounds to reduce noise pollution.
