Gateshead flyover demolition - Update on works to erect protective screen

Date: 3 July 2026

Dear resident

We have been advised by the Contractor BAM of the following upcoming works:

  • Friday 3 July 2026 (evening) - deliver and place stone to the ground adjacent to the east boundary wall for the foundation for the scaffold protection screen. This can only be done in the evening due to the required A167 lane closure which is not permitted during the day.
  • Monday 6 July 2026 to Wed 8 July 2026 (daytime and night time) - install concrete blocks for scaffold counterweight.
  • Wednesday 8 July 2026 for approximately 2 weeks (daytime) - install scaffold protection screen

BAM envisage that these works should not be too disruptive and the use of loud noise producing equipment will not be required.

All our news updates on the flyover demolition project can be found at Gateshead Highway (A167) flyover.
