I have received notification of highway resurfacing works to be carried out over the weekend of 22 & 23 August 2020 on North Road and Salters Lane in Wingate. Although these locations aren't in the Blackhall Division of Durham County Council they do connect parts of the ward in Wellfield, Station Town and Hutton Henry and as such are used frequently by residents in those settlements and others.
I've reproduced the notice in full below:
B1280 North Road and Salters Lane, Wingate Temporary Road Closure An Order is being made under the provisions of Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 the effect of which will be to close to vehicular traffic from 7.00 am on Saturday 22 August 2020 1. a 510 metre length of B1280 Durham Road and Salters Lane between its junctions with Quinn Crescent and Moor Lane, Wingate (including the junctions with Queens Road and Gully Road). 2. An additional 80m length of Salters Lane will be closed between Dobson Tce and Vicarage Estate.
The closure is necessary to enable carriageway resurfacing works to be undertaken which will probably take some 2 days (between 7.00 am and 7.00 pm per day) to complete to be carried out to that length of road.
Throughout the period of closure an alternative route will be available to vehicular traffic from the northern side of the closure from A181 westerly then south easterly on B1278 Salters Lane and continuing south easterly on C22 through Deaf Hill then north on B1280 leading to Station Town and Wingate to the southern side of the closure, and vice versa.
