Nelson Street, Wallsend - Road Resurfacing

We've resurfaced Nelson Street in Wallsend to deliver a smoother and safer travel for road users and are also improving gardens, street furniture and other streetscape elements to deliver improved amenity in Wallsend town centre. 

This project is part of a broader delivery of road rehabilitation and resurfacing works which include upgrades at Boscawen Street to Tyrrell Street and further investment into stormwater upgrades.

To help minimise disruption, the works will be completed in 3 stages with the below improvement works taking place:

• Stage 1: Rectification works to stormwater pits along Nelson Street between Boscawen Street and Tyrrell Street - completed
• Stage 2: Remove existing road pavement and upgrade (mill and fill) along Nelson Street between Boscawen Street and Tyrrell Street (including intersection) - completed
• Stage 3: Maintenance works along Nelson Street between Tyrrell Street and Cowper Street - completed.

There's more large-scale infrastructure projects in the pipeline for the area, including two dual-lane road upgrades at Longworth Avenue and Minmi Road, Wallsend, which are designed to reduce traffic congestion in the western corridor and are currently undergoing detailed design.

This project is fully funded from the 2023/24 Capital Works budget.
