Road closures: three for South Tyneside drivers this week

Drivers in and around South Tyneside will have three National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that all 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 three closures are due to start this week:

• A19, from 8pm January 16 to 6am January 17, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound and southbound, Fisher lane to Moor farm, Lane closure for drainage works.

• A19, from 8pm January 17 to 6am January 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound and southbound, Fisher Lane to Moor Farm, Lane closures for drainage works.

• A19, from 8pm January 20 to 6am January 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound, Killingworth to Moor Farm, Lane closure for drainage works.

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