Northbound Tunnel Weekend Closures from June 7th 2024The Northbound Tyne Tunnel is set to be closed for a total of 36 weekends for scheduled maintenance which will ensure the longevity of the tunnels for generations to come. The maintenance will begin on the 7th June 2024 and end on 3rd March 2025. To cause minimum disruption to users during our busiest times, both tunnels will remain open, as usual, from Monday to Friday.
