A19 Norton to Wynyard
This is a '£75 to £128 million' scheme to widen this section of A19 to D3 (though £75 seems optimistic...). As with most RIS schemes, construction is due to start in Spring 2020. The public exhibition in Billingham starts in one hour!

Presumably it means Wolviston. Only a short stretch it's a good idea because much of the traffic is headed for the A689. But it's a drop in the ocean considering the traffic levels.

Will that mean goodbye to the concrete surface?

Re: A19 Norton to Wynyard
I have often wondered why this road isn't D3 as it does get very congested around Stockton and the Tees Bridge. Indeed, when the Stockton by pass was built in the mid seventies, this should have been a D3 or even the M19.

Yes, it looks like about 70k AADF south of the A689 and 50k north of it.Mark Hewitt wrote:Presumably it means Wolviston. Only a short stretch it's a good idea because much of the traffic is headed for the A689.

A 'scheme announcement brochure' was published yesterday: http://assets.highways.gov.uk/roads/roa ... _10_02.pdf

Re: A19 Norton to Wynyard
The stretch to the south, both north and south of the Tees, is only D3 as the result of widening. The only part that was D3 as first built is the Tees bridge, if I remember correctly.Glenn A wrote:I have often wondered why this road isn't D3 as it does get very congested around Stockton and the Tees Bridge.

Re: A19 Norton to Wynyard
There seems to be a lot of survey and inspections works taking place nightly between the A139 and A689 i've got a feeling it's to do with the scheme

Re: A19 Norton to Wynyard
Hi!
In the light of the Motorway Regulations Expressways new proposal, is this scheme likely to be upgraded to this before construction starts as A19(M) or will it remain A19 APTR standard?

Re: A19 Norton to Wynyard
This scheme has progressed very well and should now open in the Autumn rather than next year (thanks to Keith for the link): https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/ ... ted-early/
The new treatment around the bridge supports at the Norton GSJ caught my eye:
Metal barriers give way to concrete blocks flush to the support. You can see the blocks to protect the supports a bit clearer on the other (NB) carriageway on GSV: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@54.59782 ... 384!8i8192
They've pulled up the traditional metal barriers in front of the supports along much of the section, so I expect they're using this approach to gain the lane throughout.
It's similar to the A14 Cambridge Northern Bypass widening: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.23271 ... 384!8i8192
(Also A1 Newcastle/Gateshead, though that's 50mph rather than NSL.)
Goes to show the value of this modern approach IMO. As I've said before, replacing an underpass to add a lane is now the exception rather than the rule.

Re: A19 Norton to Wynyard
This is now open ahead of schedule. It's three lanes throughout and the concrete surface has been replaced.
