South Tyneside road closures: five for motorists to avoid this week

South Tyneside's motorists will have five road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But the news isn't too bad, with all 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 already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A19, from 8pm April 11 to 6am May 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19/A194 Lindisfarne Interchange north and southbound, exit slip roads, slip road lane closures for bridge maintenance.

• A184, from 9.30am April 11 to 3.30pm June 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A194M northbound, Follingsby Interchange to White Mare Pool Roundabout - South Tyneside works.

And a further three closures will begin over the next seven days:

• A19, from 8pm May 9 to 6am May 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound and southbound, Fisher Lane to Moor Farm, Lane closures for safety fence works.

• A19, from 8pm May 11 to 6am May 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 north and southbound, between Boldon and A194 Lindisfarne Interchange, Lane closures for survey works.

• A19, from 8pm May 12 to 6am May 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 north and southbound, between Boldon and A194 Lindisfarne Interchange, Lane closures for survey works.

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