Uneven surface

Updates

• Thank you for your report of 4 November 2023 about the condition of the road surface on the A1 junction 74 slip into Scotswood. We understand your concerns and appreciate the time you’ve taken to report this.

  We’re sorry your experiencing driving here wasn’t as we’d have hoped on this occasion.

  After investigating your enquiry, we can advise that we’re aware of the problems you’ve raised. We’re currently in the process of planning a renewal scheme for this slip road. This would include resurfacing the carriageway, as well as renewing white lining. We’re in the planning stages and, once complete, we’ll be seeking approval to carry out the works. We’re hopeful this will be completed within the next financial year.

  We’re grateful for your patience and understanding while we continue to develop this scheme and hope to begin works as soon as practicable in this area. We’re positive these works will improve your experience using this section of the Strategic Road Network.

  We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you again for reporting this to us. If there is anything we can help you with, please email or telephone our Contact Centre. They’re available 24 hours a day by phone: 0300 123 5000 or by email info@nationalhighways.co.uk. Alternatively, please visit the National Highways website at nationalhighways.co.uk.
