North Tyneside road closures: two for motorists to avoid this week

North Tyneside's motorists will have two road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that both of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures are due to start this week:

• A19, from 8pm July 4 to 2am July 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound and southbound, Fisher Lane roundabout to Howdon, Lane closures for asset condition inspections.

• A19, from 8pm July 7 to 6am July 8, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound and southbound, Moorfarm to Killingworth, Lane closure 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.
