legislature	25259 pref label House of Commons
question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 20 October 2014 to Question 210740, what estimate the Highways Authority has made of the date at which the surface of the M20 between Junctions eight and nine will come to the end of its serviceable life; and if he will make a statement.
tabling member constituency	Faversham and Mid Kent
tabling member printed	Sir Hugh Robertson
uin	211150
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2014 answer text <p>The Highways Agency maintains databases containing indicative “end of life” dates for different types of asset. For carriageway assets, these dates may change for reasons such as the level of use, severe weather and damage from incidents. Concrete surfaces such as those on the M20 between junctions 8 and 9 have an indicative design life of approximately 40 years. This section was laid in 1991; therefore the indicative end of life is around 2031. However, as the current need for retexturing some short stretches of the M20 between junction 9 and 8 indicates, it may be that end of life will arrive before 2031. The Highways Agency will continue to monitor the M20 and as appropriate will bring forward partial or complete resurfacing schemes using modern quieter surfacing.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 23/10/2014 11:21:35 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes
