A1058 Coast Road upcoming restrictions

FromNorth Tyneside Council’s Highways team.

I am writing to advise you of a temporary speed limit and overnight lane restrictions on part of the A1058 Coast Road in North Tyneside.

It is to enable safety barriers to be replaced and follow site investigations earlier this year. The works will be managed for North Tyneside Council by its partner Capita.

The section of barriers requiring immediate replacement stretches from the boundary with Newcastle (near the Wills Building) to near the Silverlink junction.

Subject to factors such as the weather, works in this area will start on Monday, June 17 and last at least six weeks.

During working hours, which will be from 7pm to 6am, the Coast Road’s outside lane next to the working area will be closed in both directions.

For safety reasons the speed limit next to the working area will be temporarily reduced to 30mph at all times until the works are completed.

The 70mph speed limit on the A1058 Coast Road, from the boundary with Newcastle (near the Wills Building) to just before the Silverlink junction, will be restored after the safety barriers have been replaced along this whole length.
