A busy part of Newcastle city centre is set to close for approximately seven weeks to allow for major construction work.
Newcastle City Council is advising of the closure of a section of Pilgrim Street from Monday, May 16, to allow for the demolition of Commercial Union House, which extends over the street.
The road will be closed to vehicles in both directions from New Bridge Street West to Market Street until Sunday, July 3. Hood Street will also be closed to vehicles during this time, with the exception of servicing vehicles.
