Newcastle fans heading to St James' Park for this weekend's home match against Aston Villa may need to change their route to the stadium owing to a number of road closures.
As a result of ongoing highway works, Newcastle City Council has confirmed that Strawberry Lane, between the junctions with Gallowgate and Strawberry Place, will be closed to pedestrians on matchdays until Christmas. The work began last week on October 19.
Supporters making their way to and from the ground in the coming weeks are advised to alter their journeys to avoid Strawberry Lane. Pedestrian access along Strawberry Place will be unaffected.
