Proposals have been unveiled for a New Tees Crossing, a multimillion-pound plan which aims to take pressure off the existing A19 Tees Viaduct.At an event at Middlesbrough’s Riverside Stadium, Cllr Stephen Harker, Tees Valley Combined Authority cabinet member for transport, outlined the plans which involve two options, the likely preferred £200m-£250m Tees Viaduct Capacity Enhancement Option and the £300m Tees Viaduct Option.The first would involve a new two-lane bridge being built parallel to the existing A19 viaduct to carry traffic travelling northbound and the existing structure widened to allow for an extra lane of southbound traffic.The alternative solution would be to construct a new four-lane bridge parallel to the existing A19 viaduct for north and southbound traffic.
