Overnight closures and speed restrictions for A19
Drivers are set to be hit by overnight road closures on a section of the A19 as resurfacing work is carried out.
The stretch of the road between Hylton Grange roundabout, in Sunderland, and Testo’s roundabout, in Boldon, is to be affected by the work.
As well as the overnight road closures, there will be a 50mph speed restriction in place 24hours a day.
The work by Highways England is expected to start on Sunday, April 8, and is scheduled to take four weeks to complete.
At times during the works, the A19 will be closed between 8pm and 6am northbound from the exit slip road at the A1231 Hylton Grange Interchange to the entry slip road at the A1290 Downhill Lane Interchange.
It will also be shut southbound from Testo’s roundabout to the entry slip road at Hylton Grange Interchange.
More closures will be in place at the northbound entry and southbound exit slip roads at Hylton Grange Interchange, and the northbound exit and southbound entry and exit slip roads at Downhill Lane Interchange.
A temporary 50mph speed restriction will be imposed 24 hours a day for the duration of the works.
This will be in place on the northbound carriageway from 580m south of Hylton Grange Interchange southern overbridge, to 300m north of Downhill Lane overbridge.
