Customers have been warned that the Tyne Pedestrian and Cyclist Tunnels will be closed until the start of next week.
A statement on behalf of tunnel operator TT2 on Saturday, October 24, confirmed that they have been shut after both vertical lifts failed.
The statement added: “It is expected that they will remain closed until midday on Monday, October 26.
