Road closures: two for South Tyneside drivers this week

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

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a holdup of between 10 and 30 minutes.

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

• A184, from 8pm December 8 to 6am December 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A194M northbound, Whitemere Pool Roundabout inner ring lane closure for vehicle safety fence repair.

• A19, from 8pm December 12 to 6am December 17, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A19 northbound and southbound, Killingworth, slip road closures and lane closures for works off network.

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