Concept
A186 road (England)
Summary
The A186 is a road in Tyne and Wear, England. It runs between the A1 Junction 75, and the eastern end of the A69 to the A192 in Whitley Bay. It follows the old A69 into Newcastle-upon-Tyne city centre.
The road starts at the Denton Burn Interchange, on the A1 at Junction 75, which also marks the eastern end of the A69. The road heads east along West Road and Westgate Road through the western suburbs of Newcastle upon Tyne. This road runs parallel to Hadrian's Wall, although none of that remains in this area.
A set of traffic lights at a junction with the A189 marks the edge of the city centre and the start of a one-way system.. Eastbound traffic continues ahead along Westgate Road, whilst westbound traffic uses the parallel Neville Street, and a small section of St James' Boulevard.
Continuing east, the A186 continues as Mosley Street. At the eastern end, it reaches the Swan House Roundabout, which is where the A167(M) commences its journey to the north. To the south, the A167 crosses the Tyne Bridge to the town of Gateshead.
A short while afterwards, after crossing under the East Coast Main Line, you find yourself at another one-way system. This time, eastbound traffic follows Melbourne Street and Pandon Bank before it can next see a two-way road, meanwhile westbound traffic continues following City Road. City Road then runs next to the River Tyne, where it meets the B1600.
After crossing the Ouseburn the A186 runs to the south of Byker before looping along with the river and heading north through Walker to reach the edge of Wallsend. A roundabout is met on the A187 and the road multiplexes along it to the east for around to a set of traffic lights, where it regains its number and heads north through the centre of Wallsend town centre. It goes under the Tyne and Wear Metro, and crosses the A193 at traffic lights before reaching the A1058.
The A186 continues north and reaches open country after about a mile. However, a short distance later it reaches a roundabout on the A191 and multiplexes along that for a couple of miles to the east.
