Council issues major Pilgrim Street update as renovation work nears completion
After years of work, a major Newcastle Street is nearing completion.
With shop openings on the horizon and major developments nearing completion, Pilgrim Street has taken another step closer to normality.
The street has been closed to ttwo way traffic to make way for work on a hotel and the new Stack on the road but that period comes to an end now.
Newcastle City Council confirmed the road is now once again open to two way traffic from Thursday, February 12.
The city centre street has been restricted to northbound travel only during recent construction work.
Despite this, further developments are due to take place in the coming weeks.
Resurfacing work will take place between the junctions of Market Street and Worswick Street from Tuesday, March 3 until Friday, March 13. Work is planned to take place overnight in order to not disrupt traffic.
Ongoing work on John Dobson Street sees northbound traffic remain off limits while Worswick Street is now open to pedestrians from Pilgrim Street. There is a long-term restriction for vehicles as a through route from Pilgrim Street.
