question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government why Network Rail took the decision to close Rawlinson Lane, Chorley Road and Grimeford Lane in Adlington, Lancashire, at the same time to accommodate electrification of the Manchester to Preston via Bolton and Chorley line.
tabling member printed	Lord Hoyle
uin	HL5662
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2015 answer text <p>Network Rail took the decision to close the roads simultaneously in order to coordinate with the railway closures. These kinds of closures are planned up to two years in advance. In this area Network Rail had five bridges to rebuild and two possession slots; the intention was to split the bridge rebuilding over two years, doing two in 2014 and three in 2015. Due to environmental impacts identified at Grimeford Lane last year that particular bridge was rescheduled from the original plan to be completed this year.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 19/03/2015 12:28:48 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
