MOTORISTS could face delays when a £520,000 overhaul of a stretch of road begins next Sunday.
A 1.8 kilometre section of the A688, between St Helen Auckland and the Kwiksave roundabout in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, will by affected by the work, which is expected to continue until September 10.
Durham County Council has drawn up a detailed plan to minimise delays, but says major disruptions are unavoidable.
Chris Tunstall, the council's director of environment and technical services, said that most of the work would be done during the school holidays, when there was less traffic.
