Local rules
Road works in County Durham
County Durham Council is the highway authority here. Almost every English highway authority now runs a permit scheme under the Traffic Management Act 2004, so works on the road need a permit, applied for through the government's Street Manager service. Minor works usually need 3 working days' notice, standard works 10 and major works 3 months.
Main roads across County Durham include the A1(M), A19, A66, A67, A68, A167, A194(M), A195(M), A688 and A689. Work on these usually needs signals or lane closures, often off-peak.
We also cover the neighbouring areas of North Yorkshire, Gateshead, Sunderland, Northumberland, Hartlepool and Darlington.
