A PRE-WAR scheme to build a road rt diversion between Bebside and Sleekburn, Northumberland, is to be taken up again. The embankment works were completed in the 1930s. A new bridge and viaduct, 400 ft. long, will be built over the River Blyth, bringing the total cost of the project to £286,000. The new road will be 1+ miles long and 33 ft. wide. It will supersede a narrow, steep and winding road which crosses the river by a bridge wide enough to take only one lino of traffic. Eventually it is hoped that the new road will. be extended northward from Sleekburn to Red Row.
