THE A184 Felling bypass, in Gateshead, will be closed to traffic on Sunday night as work on the final phase of the major repairs at Heworth Roundabout gets underway.

It will be closed in both directions between Stoneygate Lane and Lingey Lane from 11pm until 4.30am on Monday morning. Temporary diversion routes will be signposted.

The closure is to allow the lane barriers to be repositioned to give work crews safe access to the central reservation areas where final work on kerbing, traffic islands, street lighting and drainage can take place.
