DOCK APPROACHES
REPLANNING PROPOSED IN LONDON British Official Wireless (Received October 17, 5.5 pm.) RUGBY, October 16. A scheme for the extensive replanning of approaches to the vast system of docks in the Port of London has been announced by the Ministry of Transport. London is the biggest and busiest port in the world, and, although £16,000,000 has been spent in the last 25 years on docks, the roads leading to them have not kept pace with the improvements and enlargements. Under the present scheme, which will cost £1,500,000, new roads are to be made and existing roads widened and improved. Ten bridges are to be re-constructed or eliminated and a system of viaducts to obviate delays at level crossings inaugurated. Some of this work has already begun, the cost to be spread between the Transport Ministry, the Port oi London Authority, the London County Council and five local authorities.
