The east-west A1058 Coast Road was constructed to dual carriageway standard in the late 1960s between Heaton and Billy Mill with grade separated junctions. The north-south Tyne Tunnel Approach Roads were constructed around the same time either side of the tunnel between the A1 at Seaton Burn to the North and the Testo's Roundabout to the south and numbered A108. In 1979 the Tyne Tunnel Approach Roads were trunked and re-numbered A1, although the Tunnel was not trunked and remains a tolled estuarial crossing. Following the completion of the Newcastle Western Bypass in December 1990 the Tyne Tunnel Approach Roads were re-numbered A19. The junction with the A1058 was a significant bottleneck for north-south traffic. A grade separated dive-under was completed in March 2019 to address this.
