To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of a new link road between the A66 and junction 59 of the A1.
National Highways and Tees Valley Combined Authority have worked closely on developing proposals for a Darlington Northern Link Road, connecting the A66 and Junction 59 of the A1.
