Road closures: six for North Tyneside drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around North Tyneside will have six National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But the news isn't too bad, with all of them only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A19, from 8pm February 14 to 6am February 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound, Holystone to Killingworth, Lane closure for inspection/survey on behalf of National highways.

And a further five closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A19, from 8pm February 19 to 6am February 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 southbound, Howdon interchange exit slip road lane closure for electrical works.

• A19, from 8pm February 20 to 6am February 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 southbound, Killingworth to Holystone, Lane closure for inspection/survey works.

• A19, from 8pm February 21 to 6am February 22, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound, holystone to Killingworth, Lane closure for maintenance works.

• A19, from 8pm February 27 to 6am March 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 southbound, Killingworth to Holystone, Lane closure for maintenance works.
