No idea, when I was coming across from Gateshead the traffic was queuing both lanes all the way along the redheugh bridge as well, I believe the hold up was around grainger st/central again, doesn’t take much to block up grainger st with a bad parked delivery wagon or taxi with the distancing bollards reducing the road width.  It then backs up to the gate, and in a short space of time things are at an standstill.  You can go down the big market to get to central, but if traffic is already backed up to Newgate street waiting to turn right, there’s nowhere to go.
