Very early graphics had three bridges, the one currently being built, the one you mention, and another in between those two. Whether the middle bridge was every part of plans officially or just those early graphics I don't know.

Thank you. That must have been what I was thinking of.
(Although I’m sure someone involved involved in the legals told me two were going in at this stage….but that was after a few ales so I’ll double check!)

I don't think the three bridge version of the Riverside images were widely released. I saw them through work, then by the time all the investment announcements were made and the artwork was out in the media there were only two bridges in it.

Just for comparison for everyone, Roker pier is 35 foot wide, 10 meters is just under 33 foot. A bridge the width of Roker pier is more than enough.

I had a long think about this comment. To determine how many people can walk over a bridge that is 10 meters wide per minute, we need to consider several factors: ANAR!
Width of the Bridge: 10 meters.
Space Occupied by Each Person: On average, a person occupies about 0.5 meters in width while walking.
Walking Speed: The average walking speed of a person is about 1.4 meters per second.
Calculation
Number of People Across the Width
First, we calculate how many people can fit side-by-side across the 10-meter width of the bridge. Assuming each person requires 0.5 meters of width:
Number of people across = Width of the bridge/Space occupied per person = 10 meters/0.5 meters/person=20 people
Number of People Walking Per Minute
Next, we consider how many people can cross a point on the bridge per minute. Given the walking speed of 1.4 meters per second, we can find out how many meters a person can walk in one minute:
Distance walked in one minute=1.4 meters/second×60 seconds=84 meters
Since the length of the bridge doesn't limit the number of people who can cross per minute (we assume they keep walking and don't stop on the bridge), we only need to consider the number of people who can walk side-by-side continuously.
Thus, the total number of people who can walk over the bridge per minute is:
Number of people per minute=Number of people across×Number of meters walked per minute
However, since each person only needs to walk over a single point on the bridge (effectively, a person crosses a line on the bridge every second, for example), the number of people per minute is:
Number of people per minute=20 people×1 person/second×60 seconds=20 people/second×60 seconds=1200 people/minute
Conclusion
Therefore, under ideal conditions, approximately 1200 people can walk over a 10-meter wide bridge per minute but just say 1,000ish

It’ll collapse with the weight of there’s 1200 people on it.

That's 1,200 people passing a single point every minute so say walking onto it. It's not how many are on the bridge at any one time, here's that calculation
To determine how many people can safely stand on a bridge that is 250 feet long and 32 feet wide, we need to consider the area each person occupies while standing.
Assumptions
Area Occupied by Each Person: On average, a person standing still occupies about 2 square feet.
Bridge Dimensions: 250 feet long and 32 feet wide.
Calculation
Total Area of the Bridge
First, we calculate the total area of the bridge:
Total area of the bridge=Length×Width=250 feet×32 feet=8000 square feet
Number of People on the Bridge
Next, we calculate how many people can fit on the bridge, assuming each person occupies 2 square feet:
Number of people=Total area of the bridge/Area occupied per person=8000 square feet/2 square feet/person=4000 people
Therefore, under these assumptions, approximately 4000 people can safely stand on a bridge that is 250 feet long and 32 feet wide.
All this is bullshit of course as it's presuming the bridge can take all those people and everyone will be marching in unison like an army so well done for reading any of this or the last post.

Not a bad estimate.
Not surprisingly, pedestrian flow rates on walkways have been studied in detail.

Maximum flow rate on a 10m wide walkway is in the region of 820 pedestrians per minute.
But that rate is unlikely to be achieved on match day because fans will think they know better than the maths.

Ours is also straight, point to point. It also links 2 points of the same city so our bridge not half of one like over there.

Just a screenshot from a video so poor quality but shows the progress. I'll throw some better photos and some video up when I get time.
the 2 piers are flying up..they will be ready got the north and south bridge sections soon enough

This is going to be fairly impressive

Would be good if they could incorporate some art installations into or nearby the bridge at either end.
A nod back to the heritage of the area such as Vaux Brewery, Shipbuilding and even something to signify the future of the city would be nice and give people another reason to visit that area.
Maybe it is already in the plans hopefully.

Yes i think that would be a great idea. Vaux on the Vaux side and Coal on the pit side.

That would be spot on wouldn't it. Yes I somehow forgot about the Colliery haha but something over that side to represent that industry would be great.
