COMMUTERS who travel through the usually innocuous stretch between Beresfield and Hexham will be breathing a little easier, hopefully, after works to allow the freight rail bridge at Tarro to reopen at full capacity.
For anyone who has managed to dodge the traffic snarl that has engulfed the area for weeks, traffic was cut to a single lane in each direction over the bridge after unspecified structural issues were identified with pillars holding up the outer lanes.
