OVERNIGHT resurfacing work will close a major North East road for weeks.
National Highways will carry out the work on both carriageways of the A19 near Stockton between the A139 Norton Interchange and the A689 at Wolviston from Tuesday, March 1.
The northbound carriageway will be closed overnight for three weeks, followed by the southbound for a further three weeks.
All closures take place from Sunday to Friday, between 8pm and 6am.
Traffic will be diverted off the A19 at the A139, along Bypass Road and Wolviston Road through Billingham to the A689 Wolviston roundabout where it will head east on the A689 to re-join the A19, or vice versa.
However, the work is weather dependent. In the event of work having to be rescheduled new dates will be publicised in advance.

National Highways Department Representative Ben Dobson said: “This resurfacing will ensure the A19 continues to provide a safe, smooth surface for road users and that this particular section remains consistent with the surface that was laid as part of the neighbouring Norton to Wynyard major upgrade completed last year.
“While the work is carried out, we advise people to allow extra time for their journeys and familiarise themselves with diversion routes before setting off.”
