A lane on the northbound carriageway of the flyover remains closed as work is due to take place to repair it
Drivers heading north on the A19 are facing delays today after a car crashed near the North Tees Industrial Estate.
A man was taken to hospital with a wrist injury and checks are being carried out on the barriers, meaning one lane over the flyover is still shut.
Police say repairs are expected to take place later today.
Cleveland Police said: "Lane 1 of the A19 northbound over the flyover remains closed following a single vehicle RTC at around 4am this morning (Monday 27th July)
"The male driver, who suffered an injury to his wrist, was taken by ambulance to the University Hospital of North Tees and Autolink attended the scene to assess damage to barriers.
"The vehicle was recovered from the scene and Lane 1 of the carriageway remains closed to allow the damage to the barrier to be assessed and repairs to take place.
"Traffic flow may be slower than usual and we'd like to thank any motorists affected for their patience."
A spokesperson for North East Ambulance Service said: "We were called to a road traffic incident on the A19 near North Tees Industrial Estate shortly after 4am on 27 July.
"We dispatched a double crewed ambulance and one patient was taken to North Tees Hospital."
