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

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

But the news isn't too bad, with both of them only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

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

• A184, from 8pm August 8 to 6am August 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A184 eastbound and westbound, Whitemare Pool to Testos, Lane closure for inspection/survey works.

• A184, from 8pm August 22 to 6am August 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A184 Whitemere pool Round about Circular lane closure for vehicle safety fence repair.

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