South Tyneside road closures: one for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

South Tyneside's motorists will have a road closure to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And it is expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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 11pm October 16 to 6am October 17, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A19 southbound, A185 Tyne Tunnel to A194 Lindisfarne Interchange, carriageway closure for maintenance works.

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