Essential work to fit a new gas pipe that has closed a section of Jesmond Dene Road should be completed early next week.
The closure, between Jesmond Dene Road's junctions with Osborne Road in Jesmond and Moorfield in South Gosforth, led to lengthy queues on Monday morning as commuters and parents on the school run faced frustrating waits.
The reason is for essential gas works to replace a pipe that has had to repaired 'several' times recently, Northern Gas Network says.
