Local rules
Road works in Sunderland
Sunderland 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 Sunderland include the A1(M), A1, A19, A183, A194(M), A195(M), A690, A693, A1018 and A1231. Work on these usually needs signals or lane closures, often off-peak.
We also cover the neighbouring areas of County Durham, Gateshead, South Tyneside and North Tyneside.
