LONDON DOCKS
IMPROVED APPROACHES £1,500,000 SCHEME British "Wireless RUGBY. Ocf. IT A scheme for extensive replanning of the approaches to the vast system of docks in the Port- of London is announced by the Ministry of Transport. London is the biggest and busiest port in the world and although a sum of £16,000,000 has been spent in the last 25 years on the docks, the 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 widened and improved, 10 bridges reconstructed or eliminated and a system of viaducts to obviate delays at level crossings inaugurated. Some of this work has been already begun. The cost is to be spread between the Transport Ministry, .the Port of London Authority, the Loc.don County Council and five local authorities.
