Approaching the Tyne Tunnel at Jarrow
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).

The River Don Path and the A19.
The River Don Path runs up the River Don for 6 miles from the River Tyne at Jarrow to West Boldon. Here it passes under the A19 with not a great deal of headroom!
