TEMPORARY TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDER 2026

Sunderland City Council gives notice that on 28th May 2026 it made an Order under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effect of which is to temporarily prohibit all vehicular, horse, cycle and pedestrian traffic from those sections of highways and footways as set out in the Schedules.
The Order which comes into force on 9th June 2026 is required because works are proposed to be executed on or near the highways, namely highway maintenance works. The maximum duration of the closures under this Order will be 18 months and the works are expected to take the full 18 months. However, it is anticipated that each closure will be for approximately 2-3 days. The prohibition shall apply at such time and to such extent as may from time to time be indicated by the display of traffic signs. A diversion for vehicular traffic will be signposted via the adjacent road network. A safe route for pedestrians will be maintained at all times. An exemption for the emergency services will be provided wherever possible. There will be an exception in the Order for personnel and vehicles involved with the Works.
SCHEDULE - Prohibition of all Vehicular, Horse, Cycle and Pedestrian Traffic from Carriageways and Footways. All highways within the tables are closed for their entire length. All other highways are for the extent stated.
