NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that National Highways Limited intends to make an Order on the A19 Trunk Road, in County Durham, to enable lighting renewal works to be carried out in safety.

The effect of the order will be, for 24 hours a day, at times during the works, to impose a temporary 50mph speed restriction on the A19:

It will be necessary to close, for 24 hours a day, at times during the works, the layby adjacent to the lengths mentioned above in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv).

Traffic signs will indicate the extent of the restrictions (which will not apply to emergency service vehicles or special forces vehicles) and prohibitions (which will not apply to emergency service vehicles or vehicles being used in connection with the said works or for winter maintenance or traffic officer purposes). The Order comes into force on 9 February 2025 and has a maximum duration of eighteen months.
