AN advance warning has been issued to motorists telling them of roadworks that are to be carried out on a busy stretch of road.

The westbound section of the A689 between the two roundabouts which lead to Wynyard, near Billingham, will be closed from 8pm on Friday September 2 and will reopen before morning rush hour on Monday September 5.

The closure is necessary to allow essential resurfacing work to be carried out, and a contraflow system will be in operation.

To enable preliminary work to be carried out, there will also be a lane closure along the stretch of road between 9.30am and 3.30pm on Tuesday, August 30.
