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.

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
