MOTORISTS are being advised of temporary traffic management arrangements being put in place this week at a busy Middlesbrough junction.

As part of the ongoing works at the junction of Dixons Bank and Stainton Way, upgraded traffic signals are due to be installed.

The improvements will mean traffic management measures including lane and junction closures, will in place at the site from tonight.

The measures are expected to be in place for six weeks and motorists are advised to either allow extra time for their journeys or to avoid the junction completely.

A spokesman for Middlesbrough Council said: "The Council is keen to minimise the disruption to traffic through this major intersection and as a result, the works have been scheduled for the summer holidays when traffic levels are lower."
