Road closures: two for South Tyneside drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around South 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 one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A19, from 8pm April 11 to 6am August 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19/A194 Lindisfarne Interchange north and southbound, exit slip roads, slip road lane closures for bridge maintenance.

And one more closure will begin over the next two weeks:

• A184, from 8pm August 3 to 6am August 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A184 Outer ring closure on roundabout and lane closures on approach and exit roads for electrical works.

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