A172 to get to Teesport?

Got an 11pm tip up at Tesco Teesport but the A19 Northbound is shut for roadworks up near Yarm. Is the A172 a decent road to use for HGV’S to get to Teesport as I’ve never used it before?
Or would I just be better off going upto Darlington and across the A66? Thanks for any help chaps :slight_smile:

A172’s is ok for hgv’s

Cheers mate

the A172 is single carriageway but is fine for HGVs in fact it is the major route from Prestons of Pottos yard to Teesside - I would follow it to Ormesby bank then drop onto the A174 (Parkway) by the Pied Piper pub and down to Teessport that way

It’s a good road to crack on as well, used to use it all the time when doin stokesley
