Barnes Gyratory closed for the next two Sundays for rescheduled resurfacing work

This is to allow for the resurfacing of Dunelm South. The work was due to start on Sunday 11 February but had to be rescheduled due to the weather.

It will now take place on Sunday 18 February and Sunday 25 February. 

The work is part of Sunderland City Council's ongoing multi-million pound investment in highways.

Road closures will be in place between 08.00 and 18.00 with the two diversion routes signed.

The next few weeks will also see road closures for resurfacing on Corporation Road, St Luke's Terrace, Villette Road and Chester Road.

The full highway maintenance programme is available on the council's website at Search for highway maintenance schemes - Sunderland City Council

Councillor Kevin Johnston, Sunderland City Council's cabinet member for Dynamic City, said: "I'd like to thank drivers for their patience and understanding as we carry out resurfacing work on this important section of road."

"It's part of our ongoing commitment to improving the infrastructure across Sunderland, as we strive to keep the city's roads well-maintained and clean. While road closures can cause an inconvenience, we always aim to programme the work during quieter periods wherever possible."
