DELAYS are expected at a busy Middlesbrough junction due to road works starting next week.

The carriageway of A171 Cargo Fleet Lane is being widened at its junction with Cranmore Road.

Cllr Charlie Rooney, Middlesbrough’s deputy mayor and executive member for regeneration, said: “Once complete, these works will have a significant positive impact on those who live in east Middlesbrough and those who use Cargo Fleet Lane on a regular basis."

Work will begin on Monday, February 13, with completion expected by the end of March.
