ACCESS to a Teesside village will be closed this week to allow for resurfacing work.

Work is due to start today on the A174 Lazenby bypass in east Cleveland, from the Greystones roundabout across the junction with Lazenby High Street. It is expected to last three days.

The High Street will be closed at its western junction with the A174, between 9am and 3pm.

A signed diversion route will be in operation and a free shuttle bus will also run each day until 4pm, connecting passengers with eastbound and westbound services at the Wilton underpass.
