DIVERSION WILL BE IN PLACE

A693 Northlands Roundabout, Chester le Street – Perkinsville

Temporary Road Closure

The County Council intend to close to vehicular traffic, from 10.00pm on Friday 1 July 2011 a 1.9km length of A693 near Drum Industrial Estate between its junctions with A167 Northlands Roundabout, Chester le Street and C5 Ouston Lane, Perkinsville.

The closure, which is being effected by means of Notice under Section 14(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, is necessary to enable carriageway resurfacing works which will probably take until 6.00am on Monday 4 July 2011 to complete, to be carried out to that length of road.

Throughout the period of closure an alternative route will be available to vehicular traffic from the eastern side of the closure from A167 Northlands Roundabout via B6290 Park Road North to A167, then southerly to Sniperley Roundabout, Durham then north westerly along A691 via Lanchester, north along A6076 Maiden law to Annfield Plain to A693 which leads easterly through Stanley – Perkinsville to the western side of the closure and vice versa.
