Tyne Tunnel

The Tyne Tunnel is a toll tunnel connecting the A19 at Jarrow, near South Shields to North Shields. A cashless payment system was introduced to pay charges in November 2021, leading to a large number of motorists receiving fines. The Tyne Tunnel first opened to vehicles in 1968 with the second vehicle tunnel opening in 2011.
