Live Updates: Major Roadworks Disrupt Traffic Flow at Middlesbrough Junction
A Key Intersection, A Major Project: What You Need to Know
The A172 Marton Road and A174 Interchange in Middlesbrough is undergoing extensive repairs and improvements, set to last until autumn. This major project is expected to cause significant disruption for drivers, with long tailbacks and delays reported on Tuesday morning, March 3. The works include concrete repairs beneath the bridge, waterproofing replacement, new kerbs and footways, resurfacing, and the installation of new pedestrian fencing and vehicle safety barriers.
What to Expect: A Complex Project
The project will require a temporary continuous contraflow system on the A172, with occasional overnight lane and full road closures. Traffic maps show long tailbacks on Dixons Bank and eastbound on the A174. Motorists are warned of left-turn-only access to Stokesley Road and no right turns onto the A174 when crossing the bridge.
Impact on Commuters: A Challenging Few Months
The works will run until autumn, and drivers are advised to plan their journeys accordingly. While the council has worked with the main contractor to minimize disruptions, advanced warning notice boards will be placed on affected roads. The project aims to ensure the bridge's safety and functionality for years to come.
