A19/A1058 Coast Road junction improvement
A triple decker roundabout is being installed. The A19 will drive through at the lowest level, the A1058 will drive through on the highest level and the middle level will be the roundabout for traffic changing between the A19 and the A1058.
Highways England have some interesting animations of how things will work on: https://highwaysengland.co.uk/projects/a19a1058-coast-road-junction-improvement/

A19 interchange with A1058
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.

Sculpture (1) - Northumbria Police, North Tyneside Area Command HQ
The symbolism of this work, if there is any, is lost on me. There are words inscribed on the inner surface of the ring and these words can be seen in close-up in Sculpture (2).
