OVERRUNNING roadworks in a village in Gateshead have at last been completed. The roadworks, to replace gas mains on Sunniside Road, Sunniside, took two and a half months longer than planned.
Sunniside Road is a main road through the village and carries a large number of vehicles travelling between Derwentside and Tyneside. Traffic lights in place from March to July ensured a great deal of congestion on local roads.
“Residents are delighted the work is at last completed,” said Councillor Jonathan Wallace, who lives in Sunniside.
“We all appreciated that the work had to be done but the two month overrun meant we all had to ensure traffic jams for much longer than we expected.”
