Go North East confirmed the work on its website, and said: “Buses will be unable to serve southbound stops on Ryhope Green or Ryhope Road between The Village and Toll Bar [Road].

“Please use stops at St Paul's Church on Ryhope Street South.”

Sunderland City Council has confirmed to the Echo that the partial closure will cause moderate delays to traffic.

A council spokesman added: “These are emergency works to repair a concrete chamber that contains utilities cabling.

“The closure is southbound only. Heading into Sunderland is unaffected.”
