Public Notice: A1018 Ryhope Spur Closure
The County Council of Durham has announced the overnight closure of the northbound dual carriageway of the A1018 Ryhope Spur, effective from September 29 to September 30. The closure will start at 8 PM and last until 6 AM on both nights.
Traffic Diversions in Place
Motorists will need to reroute as traffic is diverted via the A19 in a northwesterly direction to the A690 Doxford Interchange Roundabout. From there, drivers will return southeast to the new Seaton Village roundabout, reconnecting with the A1018.
Resurfacing Work Ahead
This closure is essential for carriageway resurfacing works, which the council hopes to wrap up within the two-night window. However, there's a possibility that alternative dates may be needed, with appropriate signage to inform drivers on-site.
A Word from the Council
