Work is set to get under way to move the Coast Road in South Shields to save the route from erosion.
The project will see a 500m section of the A183 Coast Road, between Marsden Lime Kilns and the caravan site near the Marsden Grotto, moved 24m inland and away from the clifftop. It comes after a survey in 2019 identified that parts of the route would be compromised in the future due to the ongoing erosion of the cliff face, including the formation of caves.
The scheme will start from Monday, November 21 and is expected to be completed next summer.
