Road closures: two for North Tyneside drivers this week

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 already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A19, from 8pm December 6 2021 to 6am April 7 2022, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound and southbound, Holystone, carriageway closures for structures work.

• A19, from 8pm February 21 to 6am April 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound and southbound, Killingworth, slip road closures for street lighting works.

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