The new flyover over the A19 Testo's roundabout in South Tyneside, welcomed traffic for the first time from Monday 7 June.
Highways England is continuing work around the flyover and roundabout over the coming weeks to fully complete the upgrade. However, drivers will be able to drive straight through the A19 without stopping at the roundabout.
There is still a fair bit of work to be done before we can completely open to traffic but we are delighted that people wishing to continue travel on the A19 can now do so without having to use the roundabout.
Closures and diversions will remain in place for the nearby A19 Downhill Lane major scheme which will provide extra capacity on the junction between the A19 and the A1290 in Sunderland, supporting the regional economy and plans for the development of International Advanced Manufacturing Park (IAMP).
