A1 police plan for Berwick
POLICE are examining the need for a traffic management plan in the event of accidents on the A1 through a Northumberland borough.
Officers are considering a contingency plan following two serious accidents in Berwick borough recently, both of which involved closing the main road and re-routing traffic.
One resulted in motorists being diverted across the Chain Bridge at Horncliffe, pictured above, which is subject to a weight restriction.
It is hoped the plan will minimise disruption for road users in any future accidents.
Berwick Neighbourhood Inspector Martin Baylis: "Dealing with the collisions themselves while keeping traffic flowing on primary routes are both extremely important. We are now working to develop a traffic management plan."
