Improvements to Stamfordham Road / Pooley Road

The improvements include providing new public transport facilities whilst allowing better management of traffic in this area.

Why are these improvements needed?

In 2015, an independent traffic study was carried out to assess the impact of housing developments on Newcastle’s roads. To ensure that the traffic generated by new housing developments is managed, improvements were recommended at the Stamfordham Road/Pooley Road junction. Since this time, we have developed a ‘Phase 1’ scheme and secured funding for delivery. A larger scale scheme will follow once further funding is secured.

What is the timescale for the works?

The works are programmed to start in mid-January 2022, finishing in Spring 2022, subject to weather conditions. This page will be updated with any changes.

We are working with National Highways (formerly Highways England) to install signing to inform users of these works and alternative routes that are available.
