Tyne Bridge Restoration Travel Information
If you are planning to travel to the Schools North East Summit by car, please remember that the Tyne Bridge is currently undergoing major restoration works and is down to one lane each way.
We recommend avoiding the Tyne Bridge as there are expected delays of up to 40 minutes at peak travel times. Heavy congestion is expected on the Quayside route, Swing Bridge and routes to and from Redheugh Bridge and all approaches to the Tyne Bridge from both Newcastle and Gateshead sides.
Public transport is strongly advised when travelling to and from Newcastle city centre and Gateshead town centre, whether or not you now drive over the Tyne. For those who can’t use public transport, other river crossings that drivers could use include the A19, with the Tyne Tunnel connecting North Shields and Jarrow. Further west, motorists could cross the Tyne via the A1 on Blaydon Bridge or Scotswood Bridge, which connects the A694 and A695.
Whichever route you decide to use, we advise planning ahead, allow more time for your journeys, and expect delays.

NUFC Parking Information – information provided by St James’ Park
We are pleased to offer limited free, on-site car parking for any guests using our conference and banqueting facilities.
The car parking areas are accessed from Barrack Road. At the traffic lights, turn into the ground and drive straightforward, past a multi-deck car park on your left. You will then see a sign for “Conference & Banqueting Car Parking”. Follow the arrow down the road, as it curves to the left and it will lead you into a multistorey car park.
Guests are free to park on Level One. Levels Two and above are not owned by ourselves so parking is not permitted. Once parked on Level One, guests must input their car registration details into the Parking Eye computer situated in the Milburn Reception area, failure to do so may result in a parking fine.
Should the unlikely event of level one of the multi-storeys being full, guests are asked to use the pay and display multi-deck car park as previously mentioned. There is a cost of 90p per hour here.
Please note, all other parking spaces in the ground, other than those mentioned above on level one of the multi-storeys, are owned by the City Council and you require either a permit or a ticket to park there. If you are a conference organiser, please ensure that your delegates are aware of the designated Newcastle United Conference and Banqueting car parking areas. Newcastle United will not be held responsible for any parking tickets received by guests whilst attending events here.
Should guests require disabled parking, the City Council bays are available on the outskirts of the multi-storey, on the ground level.
