There will be an additional Northbound Tyne Tunnel closure from 8:00 PM on Friday 3 January until 6:00 AM on Monday 6 January 2025. During this time, the Southbound tunnel will operate in a bi-directional mode, allowing drivers to cross the river in either direction.
This is an additional closure as part of ongoing maintenance work that has been taking place over weekends since June 2024. The maintenance is scheduled to be completed in Spring 2025.
We have chosen this quieter post-Christmas period to carry out work, which will help ensure that the tunnels continue to serve our community safely and efficiently for many years to come.
Weekend closures will remain paused as planned for two weekends over the peak Christmas period, with the Northbound tunnel being fully operational on the weekends from Friday 20 December until Sunday 29 December.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we continue to improve the Tyne Tunnels.
Thank you for your cooperation.
