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.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that both of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 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 December 16 to 6am December 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound, Holystone to Killingworth lane closure for sign installation works.

And one more closure will begin over the next two weeks:

• A19, from 8pm December 19 to 6am December 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound and southbound, Fisher Lane to Moor Farm, Lane closures for safety fence works.

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