Work being carried out on the Bridge Hotel junction at Catterick Bridge. Picture: Google
AS part of the up-grading of the A1 at Catterick we at last have the bridge installed over the new road at Catterick Bridge.
Unfortunately, the powers-that-be have decided to change the priority at the Bridge Hotel junction. This has created a dangerous situation when coming from Catterick Village because the visibility to the right at the new Give Way sign is practically non-existent.
I can only assume that the designer of the new layout is not a motorist.
The old A1 round the Bridge Hotel has had priority for the past 60-plus years to my personal knowledge, and I am sure much longer.
A solution is required, or do we have to wait for a serious accident to happen first?
