Tyne Tunnel Toll Plaza (Northbound)
The Tyne Tunnel is the furthest downstream fixed crossing of the River Tyne and is part of the A19.
The original project consisted of a set of foot and cycle tunnels, opened in 1951, and a single carriageway road tunnel, which opened in 1967. The tunnel became a severe bottleneck during the 1980s and 1990s, and, in 2004, it was decided to build a second parallel tunnel. Construction started in 2008 and opened in early 2011. Traffic started using both tunnels and hence the route became dual carriageway in late 2011 (https://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Tyne_Tunnel SABRE).

Big Brother is Watching You!
There are a large number of cameras around the toll booths. One more little picture shouldn't make a difference.
Taken whilst heading southwards (even though we are facing north) waiting to locate some change as there is no advance warning of the Toll.

Cyclist and Pedestrian Tunnel Entrance
The country's first purpose-built cyclist and pedestrian tunnel, connecting Howdon on the North side to Jarrow on the South. Opened in 1951, it is 275m (900ft) in length. When built, the single flight escalators were the longest "WOODEN ESCALATORS" in the world (possibly still are today) with 306 steps, 61.5m (200ft) in length with a vertical drop of 26.15m (85ft). The series of fish heads and tails which appear to be jumping out of the ground in front of the entrance is called "The Ones That Got Away" representing the revitalisation of the River Tyne. Cast in Polymer and painted in two-tone iridescent paint which changes colour as you move past them, simulating the effect of fish scales.
