As work continues on the development of the new HMRC office building in Newcastle's Pilgrim Street, Newcastle City Council has confirmed how road closure arrangements will change from next Monday (August 8).
Since the work began, Pilgrim Street has been closed to traffic to enable construction workers and vehicles to access the site - which was previously used as Newcastle's outdoor food and drink venue Stack. Now alterations to the road closures will see Pilgrim Street reopen, but other nearby roads shut as the building process enters a new phase.
Pilgrim Street will reopen to all vehicles in both directions between New Bridge Street West and Market Street - however there will only be one southbound lane, rather than two. The adjacent Market Street will close though. Traffic will be stopped in both directions between Pilgrim Street and John Dobson Street. This is to allow work on the south side of the new development.
