Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill on 13 February (HL14187), whether National Highways produced a completion report for the infilling work on Ridge Road Bridge; and if so, whether that report recorded the south span of Ridge Road Bridge as (1) infilled, or (2) not infilled.

In line with current practice, the supervisor (contracted by National Highways) reported progress weekly and therefore no completion report was required.

National Highways has confirmed that the south span was ultimately found not to be fully infilled.
