The A167 Gateshead Highway flyover was closed on Friday 13 December 2024 after inspectors flagged serious concerns with one of its concrete supporting pillars. The road beneath the flyover is also closed between the Park Lane roundabout (junction with A184 Felling bypass) and the Five Bridges roundabout (junction with B1426 Sunderland Road).
Tyne and Wear Metro services were also affected as part of the line runs directly under the flyover. By the 30th December work to install a temporary propping measure to support the flyover had been completed, enabling Metro trains to run once again.
Gateshead Council Leader, Councillor Martin Gannon, said: "We will work with our engineers on next steps, which will include deciding whether we partly reopen the flyover to traffic. Our longer-term plans remain to demolish the flyover completely and regenerate the area."
