The Government said it would make a decision by the end of the year. The figures regarding the costs come from an unreleased study commissioned by Northumberland County Council. Council leader, Labour's Councillor Grant Davey, said that a major highway such as the A1 should be made dual carriageway. Alan Ferguson, owner of the almostyear-old business Ferguson's Transport believes the road in its current state is not fit for purpose.
He said: "We avoid going north wherever possible because of the road network. The road is dreadful. Council figures show in the stretch between Morpeth and Berwick there were 14 fatalities between and Traffic going further north than the North-East does get a variety of routes into Scotland. Or Wansford?? That was also pointed out as being an early scheme.

That said, one of the later sections south of Newark was offline and opened in a huge chunk. We can't be having that so you all keep ploughing up the M6 please.

Chris Roads. Probably s? Although of course it does not form part of the modern A1. It was still a narrow lane D2 in the the 's that showed the lineage of the road. The A1 is one of the country's longest roads, connecting London and Edinburgh.
The route currently consists of motorway and dual carriageways, with some sections of single carriageway between Morpeth and Ellingham. We are planning some overnight closures of the A1 between Burgham and Felton for bridge inspections. The A1 will be closed both directions for two consecutive nights on Wednesday 10 and Thursday 11 November between 9pm and 6am.
During these closures we will be using monitoring equipment to further check how weather and temperature impact on the River Coquet bridge. The monitoring equipment can only be safely installed using ropes to access underneath the bridge. We will be using measures used in our previous closures to help with traffic movements. These measures included two-way traffic lights and regular inspections by our traffic safety officers throughout the night.
Unfortunately, we were unable to carry out the previously planned survey works at the River Coquet Bridge. This was due to activities on the wider road network that were outside our control. Our closures of the A1 between Burgham and Felton, will now take place on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 July for two nights, between 9pm and 6am. The surveys are important to develop the detailed design for the improvements to the A1 between Morpeth and Ellingham, which is due to start in this is subject to Secretary of State decision following the Development Consent Order DCO examination.
This work involves accessing the underside of the bridge using ropes and therefore we must remove all traffic to carry out this work safely.
The diversion route will take traffic off the A1 using the Peth, crossing the River Coquet and then using Main Street. The Examination Authority will now write its report and make a recommendation to the Secretary of State. Survey Work We are currently undertaking archaeological trial trenching surveys as part of our detailed design process.
Archaeological trial trenching is undertaken to identify the presence, or not, nature, date, and extent of archaeological remains that may be present within the footprint of the scheme. Undertaking this trenching now means that we can identify and address any archaeological risks as the scheme progresses through design.
The surveys are taking place between now and August, with the full permission of the relevant landowners. We have also been liaising with the Northumberland County Archaeologist to carry out these surveys.
Construction of the scheme is subject to the Secretary of State decision expected in January , following the Development Consent Order Examination which finishes in July More information is available on the Planning Inspectorate website.
For more information about the DCO process please view this video. Invitations to this meeting will be sent to Interested Parties in due course by the Examining Authority. For more information please visit the Planning Inspectorate website. In December we will be conducting some road surveys along the A1 between Morpeth and Ellingham.
