In addition, a number of roads around the edge of Sedgefield will be subject to closures at varying times. These include: A177 Coxhoe to Sedgefield road, from Bishop Middleham crossroads to the A689 roundabout. A689 from roundabout with A177, east past the services (at 2nd roundabout on A177) to the junction with Butterwick Lane (halfway to Wynyard).

YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE A177/A689/A177 ROUTE TO AND FROM STOCKTON TOMORROW
