Middlesbrough roadworks report

SLIP ROAD CLOSURE - NEWPORT INTERCHANGE

The slip road from Newport Roundabout onto the A66 eastbound, was closed in November 2008 for approximately 4 months, to enable the progression of works associated with the North Middlesbrough Accessibility Scheme. Diversions will be via Newport Road and Hartington Interchange. Traffic is being encouraged through signage to use the A19 flyover and A66 rather than Newport Bridge, to ease pressure on the diversion route.
