Port of Port of Tyne: approach roads and traffic

Port of Port of Tyne (TYN) is one of the 28 ports UK Live Traffic watches. It handles ferries and cruise ships. The live map shows the ships arriving, alongside and leaving; this page is about the roads.

Its traffic joins the main roads at A19 (50%), A1 J80 (35%) and A19 / Howdon Interchange (15%). On the live map, tapping the port and then its Road forecast estimates the vehicles that ferries and cruise ships which have just berthed should put on those junctions over the next 90 minutes.
