New roadworks scheduled on the A1 and A69 in Northumberland
Drivers in and around Northumberland will have seven National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.
And two of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing holdups of between 10 minutes and half an hour.
The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that four closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:
• A1, from 5.30am December 11 to 7pm December 17, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Cheswick, traffic signals for SU water leak.

And a further three closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A1, from 8am December 18 to 4.30pm December 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, Denwick to West Cawledge, lane closures for maintenance works.
National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
