It is expected that the road will be closed at all times during this period.

Northumberland County Council is carrying out the work.

The scheme will be to remove and replace the infill from the deep drainage systems on the side of the carriageway in order to improve the surface and subsurface drainage in the adjacent land, then to level out and resurface the carriageway affected by subsidence.

Residents in Coquetdale will be able to access the A697 via the Alnwick Moor road or by using the B6344 road, turning off at Brinkburn New Houses Farm and travelling through Longframlington.
