Heworth Roundabout

[mcq10]

I went through earlier than normal. Heading from Newcastle it’s not too bad. It’s all the people heading into Newcastle. I’d be hopping on a metro everyday rather than sit in that at 6.30 on a morning.

It’s going to be be nuts for the next 8 months

Just went up past the Lakeside and over Whitemare Pool. A Bit more traffic than normal but OK.
I seen see a Metro replacement bus next to the petrol station so i dont know if they are off or not.

joined at 0713 at whitemare pool roundabout and eventually got through the roadworks at 0735.

aye same here
i live 2 mins from Whitemare Pool and i left the house this morning at 6:55.

I forgot to add, some absolute tit had stopped their car as it had broken down less than 5 metres before the lanes merged.

So not only is the road a nightmare, knobs like this add to the chaos.

That’s a whole other world of hurt, trust me I’ve been doing it for years. I’ve finall got to the point of doing my motorbike licence instead.

Yeah can't believe they couldn't have organised the break down better than this, selfish twats

Queuing but moving

 

[super-niall]

Used the A19/A184 instead of the A194, glad I get in early as it looks like carnage on google maps traffic.

 

[Pseudonym Number 1]

It's shite like, avoid if you can.

 

[t121anf]

This likely to be a problem at 6ish tonight?

Heading in to Newcastle probably not, heading out likely.

 

[Beaker]

Can imagine Mill Lane / Whitemare Pool being a nightmare whilst this carries on. It was bad enough when they were putting the lights on through roundabout.

I could go through other way towards Shields, but no doubt the arches works will cause chaos that way anarl.

Fun and games.

 

[sadsack01]

I was going to try A19 to A1 and over Redhough but the A19 looked like chaos at Seaham. I'e decided to park up at the SOL and jump on the metro.

Hopefully it's just day 1 chaos and settles down in a few days.

Ta, checked google maps and looks like I can get back without going through the Heworth roundabout.

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Can’t wait for the metro to break tomorrow

 

[Roid]

NE1 to SR2 here. I went through Felling on the road running parallel to the Bypass - was quite clear, added 15 mins to my journey.

 

[look out piano]

It's affected my bus this morning, normally get to wreckenton by 9.10am, it was 9.30am by the time it had crawled there and we were backed up in springwell for f***ing ages .

didnt look any worse than last week when i left the house at half 8... the slip to whitemarepool looked a bit shit, but it wasnt backed up over the roundabout coming from sunderland the way it had been recently.
