It was. Had the Felling Bypass at a standstill as a knock on effect as well. Down to a single lanes all over the place approaching the Tyne Bridge.

Well done Gateshead council with your new traffic improvement measures for cyclists. It hasn't caused any problems at all, and look at all those bikes!

Exactly this. Gone from a 15 minute commute to 30 minutes overnight.

Just came in this morning by busfrom Low Fell and it took 45 minutes. Buses are struggling to get through the traffic as the bus lanes are being used. Cyclists can’t use the flyover yet as it’s blocked off. Complete chaos. These moves will kill off city centres.

I've got some washable masks to drop off for my son so I've told him I'm putting them in the post as it's probably quicker

They've coned off everywhere that they're going to put cycle lanes, don't worry though, they plan to be finished by September ...

3 lanes for cycles though!
I live in Low Fell so will just make me not go to Newcastle wherever possible.

Aye. Askew Road backed up to the Redheugh roundabout. This is while the schools and universities are shut. Will be a tailback to the A1 in normal times.
Have you considered cycling? That's only a 20 min ride into the city centre.
How do people coming from askew road get on the tyne bridge now?

If I was going into city centre I would usually walk if weather is ok. Most of my trips to Newcastle or through newcastle via central motorway are for jobs though and as I am a cameraman I need car to transport kit.

Gateshead council have always hated drivers. The small towns around Gateshead are often nightmares to travel through too.

Up the bank past Tesco then drop down past civic centre.
Basically just follow the standstill traffic through Gateshead and it will be fine
