Slow-moving traffic on A690 Houghton Cut as cold weather continues to cause delays
The North East Combined Authority shared images on its Twitter account, @NELiveTraffic, of vehicles building up on the route, which was closed by police earlier today after a number of cars became stuck.
The severe weather, which is expected to continue over the weekend with a further Yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office, has led to delays across the region today.
