Gateshead Flyover

The A167 Gateshead Highway flyover was closed to all traffic on Friday 13 December, after an inspection by structural engineers indicated a potential risk to safety. The road beneath the flyover is also closed between the Park Lane roundabout (junction with A184 Felling bypass) and the Five Bridges roundabout (junction with B1426 Sunderland Road). The flyover was built in the 1960s and is one of the main roads into Newcastle upon Tyne city centre from south of the River Tyne.
