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

South Tyneside's motorists will have three 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 three closures are due to start this week:

• A19, from 8pm January 24 to 6am January 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound and southbound, Fisher lane to Moor farm, Lane closure for drainage works.

• A19, from 8pm January 25 to 6am January 26, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A19 northbound and southbound, Fisher Lane to Moor Farm, Lane closures for drainage works.

• A19, from 8pm January 27 to 6am January 28, 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.
