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 two closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• A19, from 8pm January 8 to 6am January 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 southbound, Moorfarm to Killingworth, carriageway and slip road closure for maintenance works.

• A19, from 8pm January 9 to 6am January 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 southbound, Killingworth to Holystone, Lane closure for Horticultural work.

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