Herrington Interchange is a junction on the A19 Sunderland bypass, providing access to south-western areas of the city and to Durham via the A690. It also enables access to Doxford International business park via a dual carriageway which is shown on some maps as the B1286, but is not signed as such on the ground.
The junction is a roundabout interchange with five arms and is controlled by traffic lights at peak times, when it can get very busy.
