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

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

And one of them is expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A19, from 8pm July 10 to 2am July 22, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound and southbound, Fisher Lane roundabout to Howdon, Lane closures for asset condition inspections.

• 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.

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