Continuing Works

 

Norton High Street

 

The work to 44 - 48 Norton High Street has now reached a state where the
closure of the footway has been removed. The footway is available for
pedestrian use and the barriers that formed the diversion have been
removed. However, it is likely that there will be work on the footway to
repair damage to the paving caused by the construction work. Pedestrians
will be channelled around these works. Further updates will be included
in future reports.

 

NORTH MIDDLESBROUGH ACCESSIBILITY SCHEME

 

Following completion of the concrete safety barrier on the central
reservation of the A66 between Newport Interchange and the A19, the
offside lane of each carriageway has been reopened to traffic to allow
works to be completed on the A66 verges.

Two lanes will continue to be maintained in each direction over Newport
Interchange, with the nearside lane of both carriageways closed to allow
improvements to the surface water drainage system.  These works are
expected to continue until the end of July 2009.

 

The 30 mph speed limit will remain in force to ensure the safety of road
users and the workforce.
