The question

To ask the Scottish Executive whether the refurbishment work required on the Kingston Bridge, noted in paragraph 2.6 of Travel Choices for Scotland, is programmed in the Transport and Environment budget and when it anticipates that the Kingston Bridge will become fully operational.

The answer

Answered by Sarah Boyack on 14 Dec 1999 · 13 days after it was lodged, on time

Finance is committed to complete the current phase 1 strengthening contract. In addition provision has been made in the Motorway and Trunk Road Programme for 2000-02 to commence the programme of refurbishment work.Until the programme for the refurbishment works has been finalised we cannot say when the current traffic restrictions will be removed and the bridge restored to full operation.
