TRICKY work to improve access to a remote North-East landmark and popular visitor attraction will reach a key stage this week.
The first major improvement in 50 years to the causeway linking Holy Island with Northumberland is being carried out.
Following initial work over recent weeks, resurfacing of the crossing is expected to start by Wednesday.
Quick-drying cement will be used because of the tide, which covers the causeway and cuts off the island twice a day.
Engineers overseeing the project expect disruption to traffic crossing to the island.
They will avoid working over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The work is scheduled to be completed by the second week in June.
