The Highways Agency will be carrying out work to resurface the A19 Fisher Lane roundabout in North Tyneside next week, providing an improved road surface for drivers. In order to minimise disruption and for the safety of our road workers and customers, the work will be carried out over a weekend. The roundabout will be closed from 8pm on Saturday 18 August until 6am on Monday 20 August. During the closure the roundabout will be closed to all vehicles except for emergency services vehicles, and clearly signed diversion routes will be in place. Highways Agency project manager, Shaun Cullumbine, said: “This work will improve the road surface and reduce the need for further roadworks at the roundabout. We have planned these works to take place over a weekend, when traffic flows are lower, in order to minimise the disruption to drivers and local residents. “During the works we advise road users to plan their journeys to avoid delays. Safety is our top priority and for the safety of road users and roadworkers we encourage all drivers to drive carefully along the diversion routes, keeping within the speed limit, and concentrating on the road ahead.”
