A690 between Doxford Park and Durham is signposted as 50 and not national speed limit.
"The A1231 becomes a national speed limit dual carriageway 'Wessington Way' passing through the southern edge of Southwick, Castletown and Hylton Castle. To the south, the Hylton Riverside retail park is parallel to the road. Along this section a park and ride scheme operates on matchdays for visitors to the Stadium of Light."

"The national speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) on motorways, 70 mph (112 km/h) on dual carriageways, 60 mph (96 km/h) on single carriageways and generally 30 mph (48 km/h) in areas with street lighting (restricted roads)."

Supposed to be 50 when its fully open, not sure if that's when the new bridge opens or when the junction opens 3 ways..... temp traffic lights will be used until end of November until the new traffic lights are set up.
Now it's time for Alexandrea Avenue to close, this will allow the existing road to be joined on to the new road which will go under the bridge........... does anyone know who's running the shuttle service?, and which way it'll go?
