Road closures: one for South Tyneside drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around South Tyneside will have a National Highways road closure to watch out for this week.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that it is only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure is due to start over the next two weeks:

• A19, from 8pm October 9 to 6am October 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound, Lane one between A194 and A185 South Tyneside for CCTV maintenance and Sewer Cleaning by Northumbrian Water.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
