The A6115 formed an east-west route across Tyneside in the days when the A1 went through the Tyne Tunnel. It was originally numbered A69 to the west of Newcastle upon Tyne and A184 to the east. Since the rerouting of the A1 along the western bypass roads in the area have been renumbered again; the A184 has got its old route back whilst the remainder of the ex-A6115 is now part of the A186.

Westgate Road, Newcastle city centre

The road started at the West Denton roundabout on what is now the A191; this was the point where the A69 turned southwards to cross the River Tyne. The A696 started here and headed north whilst the A6115 headed east. It headed through the western suburbs along West Road and Westgate Road, before reaching Newcastle city centre where it met the A695 Neville Street opposite Central Station. The route from there seems to have been multiplexed with the A6125 over the High Level Bridge as far as a roundabout on Prince Consort Road in Gateshead, where the A6115 then struck eastwards. It crossed the A6127 Gateshead Highway and then followed Park Lane and the Felling bypass dual carriageway to the east, passing Heworth and Pelaw, before reaching the edge of the urban area. The road ended at the White Mare Pool roundabout, where a flyover took A6115 traffic directly onto the A1 to the east. The other two roads at this roundabout were the A1(M) to the south and A194 to the north.

During 1990, whilst road renumbering was being carried out following the A1's move to the Western Bypass, the A6125 over High Level Bridge was renumbered B1307, and then for a short time, the A6115 multiplex was transferred to the A6127 Tyne Bridge until that road, in its turn, was renumbered A167 and A6125/A6115/A6127 all became defunct.
