The eastbound carriageway of the Blaydon Highway and the adjacent Tyne Street will be closed to traffic on Saturday 1st July from 6am to allow contractors to install a new section to the footbridge over the A695.
The
closure is required to allow the new prefabricated bridge span to be delivered
on a low loader and also allow for the positioning of a crane to lift the new
footbridge section into position.
A signed
diversion route will be in place to divert traffic from the A695 Blaydon
Roundabout via Shibdon Road onto the B6317 Chainbridge Road. The A695 Westbound
highway will remain open to traffic.
The length
of time required for installing the new bridge section will depend on weather
conditions, but it is hoped that the work can be completed within the day.
Motorists
are advised to seek alternative routes if possible and to allow a little more
time for their journey.
