TheA67 is a road inEngland that linksBowes inCounty Durham withCrathorne inNorth Yorkshire. The road fromMiddlesbrough toDarlington was previously theA66 road, the road also starts and ends on the A66.
The section from the A66 toBarnard Castle is primary status;[1] from that point it turns right and it loses its primary status to the A688 road.[2] It then travels east throughGainford and crosses theA1(M) but does not have a junction with it.[3] The road regains primary status as it goes concurrent with theA66 road from theBlackwell roundabout and heads along the southern edge ofDarlington.[4]
As the A66 heads north, the A67 leaves at Morton Park to head east past Dinsdale andDurham Tees Valley Airport before joining with theA135 inEaglescliffe. From there it heads south throughYarm—crossing theTees viaYarm Bridge[5]—andKirklevington before joining theA19 road at Crathorne.[6]
The road has been described by a UK Government transport minister as an important commuter route and as being the gateway toTeesdale from Darlington.[7] Despite its status as an important route, it is not maintained byNational Highways but by the local authority.[8] The section around Darlington and also onwards towards Middlesbrough was originally the A66.[9]
The 10-mile (16 km) stretch of road between the A66 at Morton Park and the A19 was named the third most improved road in 2013. Work on this section included vehicle activated signage, draining and resurfacing.[10]
