New kerbs for A1 at Newton-on-the-Moor, Northumberland
Work to replace kerbs along 3.5 miles of the A1 near Newton-on-the-Moor, Northumberland will begin next week.
Highways Agency Project Manager Nick Adshead said:
We will be replacing the kerbs between Newton-on-the-Moor village and Old Felton. The existing kerbs have deteriorated and, as they form an integral part of the drainage system, it is important they are replaced. To minimise any disruption caused by the work, we are carrying it out in two phases.
Phase 1 will take place from 30 June to 9 September on the southbound carriageway, and phase 2 will take place from 18 August to 4 November on the northbound carriageway.
For the safety of road workers and to carry out the work as quickly as possible, work will take place during the day, 1 lane will be closed and a 50mph speed limit will be in operation.
