Northumberland road closures this week - parts of A1 and A69 affected

But the news isn't too bad, as all of them are only expected to cause slight delays.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A1, until 4pm on November 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, West Mains to Scremerston, Stop and Go signs in operation for drainage works;

• A1, from 8pm October 1 to 6am November 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Felton to Newton on the Moor, Contraflow, lane closures, 24 hour layby closures and 24-hour speed restrictions for resurfacing works.

And a further six closures will begin over the next seven days:

• A1, from 9.30am November 14 to 3.30pm November 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, Denwick, Lane closure for horticultural work;

• A69, from 7pm November 24 to 6am November 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A69 Plenmeller River bridge - traffic signals to conduct combined routine and structural maintenance.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
