Failed columns Tyne Crossing - North Brunton Interchange

Reported via desktop in the Street lighting (NH) category anonymously at 22:02, Tue 28 February 2023

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4272159.

On 20 February at about 18.15 hrs I joined the northbound lane near the Tyne Crossing . A cloudy evening hence already very dark. A significant number of the "central barrier" tall lighting columns were out of action. Not only a case for Re-lamping . in some positions 7 -8 columns in a row were out of action. Also over 50 of the tree protection tubes on the embankments had not been hammered into the ground far enough (by Costain) and being cylindrical risk rolling across the carriageway during windy conditions. The latter more evident on the stretch north of the turn off for the Airport.
