Progress report
The A19 opened to traffic as planned and is now operational. The feedback we have received from the public has been overwhelmingly positive and we are thrilled with the responses.
What's next?
Now that we have been able to divert almost 50% the peak time traffic away from the roundabout we will be concentrating on the completion works over the next couple of months. We will continue to have some overnight closures to allow us to finish landscaping, traffic management and other works.

Why we need this scheme
The junction suffers peak time congestion with delays of over 4 minutes per vehicle on the A19 southbound approach. The accident rate at this junction is higher than the national average (2008-2012).The scheme in detail
We propose to:- realign the A19 under the existing A19 roundabout
- construct slip roads to allow the A19/A1058 coast road junction to provide access to the junction to and from the lowered A19
- construct 3 new single span structures to allow the A1058 coast road and A19 roundabout to cross over the realigned A19
- construct retaining walls so that we can minimise how much new land the new layout will use
- retain or enhance facilities for cyclists, horse riders and pedestrians
- widen of Middle Engine Lane railway bridge to accommodate the A19 north facing slip roads
- install new infrastructure/street furniture associated with the scheme works identified above including central reserve concrete barriers, drainage, pavements, road lighting, traffic signals, traffic signs, road markings and CCTV
Aims
We aim to:- reduce congestion
- increase capacity
- improve journey times
- improve road safety for both road users and the local community
- support regeneration in Tyne and Wear and Northumberland
- maintain or improve facilities for pedestrians and cyclists crossing and travelling along the route
Cyclists, horse riders and pedestrians
We have had to close the bridleway running east from Battle Hill to Silverlink and this will be closed for 12-18 months.
A signed diversion is in place for pedestrians and cyclists. There was no diversion that would be suitable for riders. We know this is disruptive and we are sorry for any inconvenience.
The final scheme will include 2 new footbridges for pedestrians and cyclists across the A1058.
