"It'll all be over by Christmas": end in sight for Pallion roadworks as work on Sunderland's new Wear Crossing is ahead of schedule

http://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/trans...z4DhsFGTv4

A historic Sunderland pub has been sold - and regulars say they have been told it will close within days.

A spokesman for The Londonderry Hotel, in High Street West, confirmed it was changing hands but not what would happen afterwards.

It's where the Fenwick at Christmas was opposite Jack and Jones in the Platinum Mall I think.

The Avenue Vivian properties were the ones I mentioned in the GNE latest thread the other week, that saw the 36 diverted.

Part of Sunderland road to be closed for weekend next month as part of New Wear Crossing works

A 300-metre section of a Sunderland road is to be closed early next month.

The stretch of Timber Beach/Hylton Park Road will be closed between the entrance to DW Fitness and entrance to the old RTC car park on Saturday, August 6 and Sunday, August 7.

Works to start on A690.

The original plan of blocking off Newbottle and Wardle Law exits has been axed, in favour of a no-right turn

Not from the area so don't really know the road, will this "No right turn" make the road better?

(30 Jul 2016, 8:37 am)Michael wrote Not from the area so don't really know the road, will this "No right turn" make the road better?

Not sure about better, but it should make that junction safer.
To provide some balance, the change at the junction may have a knock-on effect on other local roads. As an example, people heading back towards Sunderland or the A19 from the family farm or go-kart track at Wardle Law, will now need to find an alternative route to the A19 or Sunderland. 3 out of 4 options will now involve going through residential areas (Seaton, Hall Lane, Doxford Park or A690 to Houghton and then doubling back on themselves).

So if there's no right turns allowed then does that mean it might aswell be closed. As you can't turn left into on coming traffic

I have had a drink Acky, so may have misunderstood you.

If coming from Newbottle - you can go left towards Doxford Interchange, straight on towards Warden Law or right towards Houghton.
With the changes, you are restricted to a left turn only. The junction is still open.

At least one pair of semi's have now gone and been demolished. It was the one gutted by fire.

Not sure if this went before the planning application or not...

Few updates today: All the info is from Skyscrapercity forum: (Some of the links you have to highlight and then open for some reason, they work!)

Got this email the other day regarding High Street West:



Dear all,

HIGH STREET WEST PROJECT UPDATE

Please note that due to a number of unforeseen circumstances, works to High Street West will not be completed by the end of October 2016, as originally planned.

During the course of the project to date, the team has uncovered a number of unrecorded utility pipes and cables, which were not present on plans provided.
These take additional time to work around and make safe, which affects the overall timescales for the project.

We are keen to minimise disruption to traders as much as possible and in particular to avoid any impact on the Christmas trading period.

To minimise the risk of an overrun into the peak period, we intend to make the site safe and remove all works equipment at the beginning of November. There will be full access along High Street West over the Christmas period, and the contractors will return to site to complete works in early 2017.
