Overnight closures will be in place on the A174 in Teesside later this week to allow resurfacing work to take place.

A section of the A174 Parkway eastbound carriageway is being resurfaced near the Grange underpass at Coulby Newham.

To carry out this work safely, the eastbound carriageway will be closed overnight between the B1365 Blue Bell and the A172 Stokesley Road junctions on Thursday 17 and Friday, November 18.

The closures will be in place on both dates between 8pm and 6am the following morning.

National Highways project manager Michael Morgan said: “When this work is completed, drivers will notice their journeys feel much smoother.

"It will also create even greater safety on this route.

“We are carrying out this work overnight to minimise disruption; however, we strongly advise drivers planning to travel in this area during the closures to allow more time for their journeys.”

While closures are in place, clearly signed diversion routes will be in place. Eastbound traffic will be diverted off the A174 at Blue Bell Interchange onto the B1365, onto Stainton Way and then the A172 (Dixons Bank) before re-joining the A174 at Stokesley Road Interchange.
