Overview
- The traffic controls began on Monday, July 13, and affect eight named locations in Darlington with either temporary traffic lights or alternating single‑lane working.
- Longer-running restrictions include gas‑main work on A67 Coniscliffe Road scheduled until 5pm on August 26 and roadworks in Faverdale scheduled until September 7.
- Shorter interventions include emergency repairs and telecoms on A167 Northallerton Road through July 15 and electricity or telecoms work on streets such as Exeter Drive, Gordon Close, West Powlett Street, Brinkburn Road and Ely Close with end dates from mid‑July to late August.
- Local utilities and highways contractors are managing the works, which cover gas mains, electricity lines, telecoms and general road repairs and use temporary lights and alternating traffic to control lanes.
- Drivers should expect lane closures and delays, plan alternative routes or extra travel time, and note that the reported end dates come from local notices and are projected rather than independently verified.
