The industrial action, which organisers started at around 5.30am, has the potential to cause serious delays for motorists and public transport travelling from Middlesbrough into Redcar along the Trunk Road and vice versa.

Drivers are being advised to use alternate routes and allow plenty of extra time for your journey if you normally travel in this area.
