3. A 560 metre length of Flass Street and Redhills Lane between the junctions with Sutton Street and St Monica Grove to enable carriageway resurfacing works to be undertaken.

It will also be necessary to suspend the one-way restriction on Redhills Lane to maintain resident access as detailed in The County Council of Durham (Unclassified Redhills Lane, Durham City) (One Way restriction and revocation) Order 2025.

An alternative route will be available to vehicular traffic from the eastern side of the closure, from North Road/A690 westerly via A690 to Nevilles Cross, north on A167 and east onto Redhills Lane, to the western side of the closure and vice versa.

On occasions, alternative dates for the closure may be necessary and these will be signed on site accordingly.
