Sutton Bank to close for repairsThe A170 at Sutton Bank will be closed for a week from midnight on Sunday, September 9, while the annual repair and maintenance work on the road is carried out.
It will be closed all day Monday, September 10, until the end of the following Sunday, September 16. The work is essential to ensure that this important route is kept in good order.
