Roadworks on A189 slip road and level crossings in Blyth, Ashington and Seghill planned for Northumberland Line work

The southbound slip road in the Bebside area of Blyth will be shut from 8pm until 6am the following day every night between Monday, June 26 and Thursday, June 29.

It will also close for the same time periods from Monday, July 3 to Thursday, July 6 and from Monday, July 10 to the night of Thursday July 13.

This is to allow investigations into the ground conditions in the area to take place ahead of the construction of a footbridge to access the Blyth Bebside Station due to open in 2024.

This is part of the Northumberland Line railway project, which will restore passenger services from Ashington to Newcastle via Blyth to the line for the first time since the 1960s.

A diversion will be in place during the closures.
