f***ing hell, I was hoping for a week or something

You're in Boldon now, man; we're not slapdash!

I overheard some lad suggesting a couple of years! Hopefully not true, but the way roadworks go here, probably true...with an added year for delays.

Yeah mate I know the whole thing is two years but I was on about that stretch of the A184 specifically and how long it'll be one lane...

Signs say delays until April 2019.

 

[Fletch]

There was.

Very sad news that

 

[hairynaker]

People who are saying there are only short delays and its alright now, isn't it better to do it now then? Surely its the perfect time to do it.

Got to admit, i got a childish kick going through it.

Silverlink is on schedule I think.
Still though, that's 4+ years without being able to get from Sunderland to Silverlink without significant roadworks.

I took a job at Silverlink a month before the works started - I knew nothing about it. I'll probably be finished here before I ever get a decent run through!
