Southern end of the Tyne Tunnels
The Tyne road tunnels carry the A19 under the Tyne and emerge at Jarrow at the southern end. The tunnel to the left is the original tunnel of 1968 which carried two-way traffic, but now provides two lanes in a northerly direction. The tunnel to the right is the new tunnel opened in 2011 which provides two lanes in a southerly direction.

Tyne Tunnel Southern Portal (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).
