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

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

But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that it is only expected to cause slight delays, of under 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:

• A1, from 8pm November 2 to 6am November 3, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, junction 76, closure of northbound, entry slip for horticultural works.

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