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 less than 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 April 20 to 6am June 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound and southbound, Seaton Burn to Howdon, mobile lane closure for inspection/survey works.

And one more closure will begin over the next seven days:

• A19, from 8pm June 10 to 6am June 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 southbound, Silverlink, Lane closures for sign erection works.

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