NY9363 : Road closure at Eastgate

taken 2 years ago, near to Hexham, Northumberland, England

Road closure at Eastgate
Road closure at Eastgate
The bottom end of Eastgate (B6306) at the junction with Priestpopple has been closed for two months to allow for repairs to the premises formerly a branch of Boots. Whilst cars and light vans can readily divert via Elvaston Road, heavy vehicles such as timber lorries, coaches and livestock transporters are faced with an extremely long and convoluted diversion.

It might have been more useful to improve the junction by demolishing said building.
