The full list of closed roads for Newcastle United's Carabao Cup parade and Town Moor celebration
The Wembley win is yet to sink in for many Newcastle United fans, but celebrations will continue this weekend, causing road closures across the city.
Supporters were worried an event on the Town Moor would not include a parade through Tyneside, although a club announcement on Monday, March 24 put any issues to bed.
In addition to the Town Moor celebration, Eddie Howe and his victorious squad will head around the city before reaching their destination to the north-west of the city centre.
