The Tyne Tunnel has recorded its busiest ever month as a major modernisation project has come to an end.
The multi-million-pound project to modernise and transition the tunnels to open-road-tolling is now complete, with new, fixed road signage signalling an end to all the works.
Bucking the trend of traffic levels across the rest of the region - which have remained broadly flat - the number of vehicles using the tunnels are now at record levels, with July 2022 being the busiest month in the toll-road’s 55-year history, and May 2022 taking second place.
