The two major road proposals referred to by the Deputy were included in the launch of Transport 21 as subjects for further feasibility study. My Department has received a report from the National Roads Authority in respect of the outer orbital route and is expecting a report on the Eastern Bypass in the near future. I will study these reports and draw them to the attention of my cabinet colleagues in due course.
