A1 and Tyne Tunnel: Busy as Usual

While traffic is generally calm this morning, there's a notable slowdown on the A19 northbound at Jarrow, leading into the Tyne Tunnel. Expect a 15-minute travel time there.

Additionally, there's congestion on the A1 Western Bypass Northbound from MetroCentre to Denton Burn Roundabout. And don't forget about the A184 Felling Bypass around Shields Road, where traffic is queuing.
