Edit: Will the X21 be affected at all? It's the South side of the junction that's shut? So assume they'll be able to access the A1 in both directions?
The issue would be they can’t leave the A1 at Eighton Lodge so would have to go through Birtley and take a longer route to Low Fell unless it omits low fell. It’s fine heading southbound
The letter the highways folk have shows the roundabout fully closed southside which according to them is the Birtley side (which in carriageway terms is actually northbound)
