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 the news isn't too bad, with both of them only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures are due to start this week:

• A19, from 8pm January 30 to 6am January 31, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound, Silver link circularity lane closure.

• A19, from 8pm February 13 to 6am May 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound, Holystone Interchange, carriageway closures and lane closures for structural painting works.

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