To enable contractors working on behalf of the Highways Agency to carry out essential highway works, an emergency road closure is required from 6th December until the 7th December 2014.
This will run in conjunction with the existing temporary closure, resulting in the bridge being closed fully from Friday 5th December at 8pm until Monday 8th December at 6am.

Consequently, Service 50 will be diverted between Glover Road and West Boldon via Spire Road, A1231, A19 and A184 Newcastle Road in both directions, whilst Service 56 between Glover Road and Washington Road will divert via Spire Road, A1231 and Ferryboat Lane, in each direction.

Neither service will be able to serve Nissan main bus stops.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this closure, which is outside of our control.
