Felling bypass to close on Friday night
The road will be closed in both directions between Stoneygate Lane and Lingey Lane from 8pm on Friday evening until 6am on Saturday morning.
Temporary diversion routes will be signposted.
Through traffic is advised to avoid the A184 Felling bypass completely and follow the B1296 Old Durham Road / B1288 Leam Lane instead.

Exit from the Lakes Estate will be maintained onto the eastbound carriageway of the bypass.
The removal of the high mast lighting column will allow the existing mini-roundabout – which has been fully light-controlled for some time – to be removed and replaced with a light-controlled junction.
It is expected that the eastbound left turn off the Felling bypass into Pelaw and Bill Quay will re-open to traffic as planned from Monday morning (26 March).
