Roadworks - various
Anyone using the A167 past through Durham City will have got caught up in congestion caused by road works by the new Durham Johnston school. This is due to new sewer connections being installed. The sceduled time period for the work is 28 July - 13 August, but I hope it will not take as long as that. To be avoided if you can!
Readers may remembers that the promised barriers along the A167 between Merryoaks and the Cock of the North roundabout didn’t get completed because of a shortage of the right kind of steel! I have just been notified that the work is now scheduled for 4 August - 5 September.
Finally, there will be road resurfacing works on short stretches of Potters Bank and Lowes Barn Bank close to the Duke of Wellington traffic lights over the two weekends 9-10 and 16-17 August. This will close each road while the work is being done, so watch out for detours.
