(British .Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, October 1(5,
A scheme for an extensive rcplanning of! tlio approaches io tho vast system of docks in tho Port ot London is announced by tho Ministry of Transport.
London is tho biggest and busiest port in tho world, and, although £16,000,000 has been spent in the last 25 years on its docks, tho roads leading to them have not kept pace with these improvements and enlargements. Under the present scheme, which will cost £1,500,000, new roads are to be made, existing roads are to be widened and improved, ten bridges are to be reconstructed or eliminated, and a system of viaducts to obviate delays at level crossings is to be inaugurated. Some of this work has already begun. ■ The cost will bo spread between the Transport Ministry, the Port of London Authority, the London County Council, and five local authorities.
