Overnight Closures on A1061 South Newsham Road in Blyth (3rd to 8th November)

In order to install traffic management required to carry out works to the West Roundabout safely, a full overnight road closure is required on South Newsham Road on Sunday 3 November 2024 from 8:00 pm to Monday 4 November 2024 at 6:00 am. During this period, please follow the diversion route shown below. Please note advance notice signs will be in place ahead of the closure.  

Once traffic management is installed, works will continue on night shift from Monday 4th November – Friday 8th November 10:00 pm – 6:00 am to install new lighting columns and signage. 

In addition to these overnight closures, we will also be undertaking drainage survey work adjacent to Crayford Street on the evening of Monday 28 October 2024 between the hours of 7:00 pm until 6:00 am.

During this period, traffic management will be in place in the form of temporary traffic lights. This is to allow the team to safely undertake works. Access to properties will be maintained at all times.

What to expect during these works

During this work, there is potential for some impact on people living and working close by, however every effort will be taken to limit this where practically possible.

Any noise arising from the works will be within the legal levels under UK law and every effort to keep noise, dust, and vibration, is limited as possible although some level of disturbance is to be expected.

Please note that pedestrian diversions will be in place during these works but full access routes will be maintained throughout the works.
