The press release below, issued by Durham County Council, gives full details:
Drivers advised of resurfacing work on
A179
Drivers are being advised that resurfacing work will be
carried out at a busy road junction later this month (June).
Contractors working for Durham County Council will carry out
the work at the A179 Sheraton Interchange, on the outskirts of Hartlepool, over
five nights starting on Monday 23 June.
The overnight work will take place, between 7pm and 7am, and
the road will be closed during those times.
Diversion routes will be in place while the night-time road closures
are in force but the road will remain open during the day.
Drivers are being warned to expect delays and to plan for
extended journey times.
John Reed, head of technical services at Durham County
Council, said: “These works are part of our on-going resurfacing programme.
“We are carrying out the work at night in order to minimise
inconvenience to drivers but unfortunately some delays will be unavoidable.
“We would urge people to plan ahead and we appreciate their
patience while the work is underway.”
