Proposals for works of this nature are not submitted to my Department. The planning and execution of road works at the junction in question are accordingly matters wholly within the discretion of the road authority concerned subject to the relevant statutory provisions and would not require my sanction. The cost of the work would fall to be met from the authority's own resources supplemented by the General (Block) Grant.
