Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council will begin work on the bridge on Monday, July 7, which is expected to be completed by late summer/early autumn when the bridge will be reopened.
The maintenance carried out by Balfour Beatty will include bearing and top plates replacements, installation of Vehicle Restraint Systems (VRS) for safety and ballast support, as well as updated road markings.
Throughout the works, the A1032 from Newport roundabout to Portrack interchange will be closed to traffic. Pedestrian and cyclist access will continue across the bridge.
Signed traffic diversions will be in place, with access maintained for businesses only.
From the Portrack interchange, traffic should follow the signed diversion onto A19 southbound, exit to A66 eastbound for Middlesbrough, then exit A66 eastbound to Newport roundabout.
Traffic from Newport roundabout will be signed via a reverse route.
