The work, just east of the entrance to Cowpen Bewley Woodland Park, will start on Monday, September 27, and is due to finish just before Christmas.

Councillor Mike Smith, the cabinet member for environment and transport at Stockton Borough Council, which is carrying out the work, said: “There’ll inevitably be some disruption but we’ll be doing everything we can to keep it to a minimum and are arranging for the temporary traffic lights to be manually controlled during peak hours.

“We thank people in advance for their patience.”
