LONDON tCP) - Britain. the”

most auto-clolged C0U!"I'.V '" "19 world, will have her first modern four-lane highway in about four s.

yeTi-ansport Minister John Boyd- Carpenter announced that con- struction of the first 53-mile stretch from northern London to a point south of Warwickshlre. will boil!!! in 1957- The 215,000,000 road I5 designed to handle 30.000 vehIt'it'S a day in both directions and to carry traffic safely at 70 miles an hour.

The new strip-banned to cyc- lists and pedestrians-is part of a four-year 245,000,000 program of road-building and repairs. Even- lually the government hopes to spend e2i1.ooo.ooo to bring Brit- aln's 190,000 miles of motorways up to date. I

British roads are packed with some 6.000.000 vehicles but there has been virtually no new road construction in the last ltl years. Motorists will pay more than a4oo.0o0.ooo in taxation this year but. say government critics. less than 'one-quarter of that will spent on roads. in the United States. they note. about 90 per cent of all motor taxation goes in high- way upkeep

EXTENDED LATER

The new road to Rugby. with two carriageways each 36 feet wide and separated by a grass strip. will be extended later 00 miles to a point near Doncaster. 30 miles south of York. Total cost of the highway is estimated at 145,000,- 000. about &I300.000 a mile.

Part of the delay in beginning the road is due to the necessity of giving ample warning to land- owners. The transport ministry has announ J that about 200 pub- lic and private interests will be affected by construction of the road.

Detailed plans of the scheme will be made public and anyone wish- ing to object to any part of the construction program may do so.
