A1 in Northumberland

decision

Thirteen miles of upgrades to dual the carriageway linking Morpeth and Alnwick bypasses with the dual carriageway near Ellingham, to create a continuous dual carriageway from Newcastle to Ellingham. The A1 Morpeth to Ellingham is one project seeking to widen two sections of the A1 single carriageway to dual carriageway, consisting of: • A1 Morpeth to Felton – upgrade approximately 8 miles of the A1 between Morpeth and Felton to dual carriageway standard. • A1 Alnwick to Ellingham – upgrade approximately 5 miles of the A1 between Alnwick and Ellingham to dual carriageway standard.
