Local rules
Road works in Gateshead
Gateshead 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 Gateshead include the A1(M), A1, A69, A167, A167(M), A184, A194(M), A195(M), A692 and A693. Work on these usually needs signals or lane closures, often off-peak.
We also cover the neighbouring areas of Sunderland, County Durham, Newcastle upon Tyne, South Tyneside, Northumberland and North Tyneside.
