But any work to change to a Sandhills type layout should be replicated there, and at the worst of all Bridge Street farce leading onto the Wearmouth Bridge. Miller and Co have their heads up their arses when it comes to traffic. That's why the 'strategic' corridor ends at the Bridge Street roundabout ...
Ye, that's where the work is happening, I think it was made worse when they added more lanes in and didn't change the roundabout at all, hopefully this helps but I doubt it... work starts in Spring 2025 - can imagine, its going to be chaos... massive diversions for the buses too no doubt.
Bridge street has always been bad too, even before the road was changed.
