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

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

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a holdup of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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 July 2 to 6am November 4, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A19 northbound and southbound, Moorfarm to Killingworth, carriageway closures and 24hr lane closures for resurfacing works.

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

• A19, from 8pm July 31 to 6am August 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 southbound, Holystone exit slip lane closure for Electrical works.

• A1, from 8pm August 4 to 6am August 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, Jnct 79 exit slip lane closure for Electrical works.

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