Dual carriageway to reduce congestion and improve travel efficiency, starting construction in 2025.
Overview
A new relief road will be created to provide a direct dual carriageway connection between the A192 Three Horseshoes roundabout and the A193 South Beach in Blyth. This will relieve congestion for residents and visitors to the area. This is as part of the £70 million Energising Blyth programme.
The proposed scheme involves constructing a new 4.5km dual carriageway. It includes widening the existing single carriageway to dual carriageway along the A1061.
A public consultation took place between 30 October 2023 and 10 December 2023.
What happens next
The project is currently underway and with the estimated timeline:
- planning application to be submitted April/May 2025
- planning approval anticipated autumn 2025
- confirmation of funding from Central Government anticipated December 2025
- construction is expected to begin in January 2026 for a period of approximately 18 months up to summer 2027
