Improvement work set to begin on a busy Boldon Colliery junction
Work to improve a busy Boldon Colliery junction is set to get underway in the coming weeks.
South Tyneside Council has confirmed that work to improve the Abingdon Way/Witney Way/Didcot Way junction, in Boldon Colliery, will begin from Monday, April 27.
The work is part of a wider scheme to make bus journeys more reliable, as well as improving walking and cycling routes.
It is being funded by under the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) and will be provided out of the £163.5 million made available to the North East.
The local authority has stated that the improvements will help reduce journey times and improve safety for everyone using the area.
Members of the public can expect the following in the first phase of the works:
- There will be some temporary lane restrictions, road closures and diversions in place.
- Witney Way at Abingdon Way will be closed to members of the public for around 12 weeks during the first phase of work.
- A fully signed diversion will be installed to ensure that access is maintained during the first phase.
South Tyneside Council says that it will do “everything it can” to keep disruption to a minimum and estimated that the improvement work will be complete by the end of November.
