Motorists will face two months of delays and disruption along North Tyneside’s popular coastal route when a £500,000 Northumbrian Water project gets under way next week.
Part of Sea Banks and Grand Parade which hug the Tynemouth section of the coastal strip are set to be reduced to one lane as Northumbrian Water and its supply partner Esh Stantec begin work on replacing an ageing sewer network. A one-way traffic system is expected to be in place until the back end of June.
The sewer upgrade is happening at Sharpness Point between King Edward’s Bay and Longsands with the full project expected to take around six months to complete. Most of the pipeline is within the road in Grand Parade and at the bottom end of Percy Park Road – both of which are major routes in and out of Tynemouth.
