Great photos there. Looks like some kind of interactive panel on the bridge railings

Can anyone share those photos? I can only see four as I don't have LinkedIn. I hope they vandal proof the interactive panels with the amount of scrotes around these days.

Noticed yesterday the Keel line paving runs directly up to the bridge from Keel square, I will be shocked if they haven’t already agreed the name of the bridge…

VolkerStevin and Sunderland City Council would like to inform you that essential preparatory works will be carried out on the New Wear Footbridge to prepare the bridge deck for waterproofing which will protect it from water infiltration and corrosion.

The works will commence on Monday 2 June 2025 and will take place between 4pm and 10pm for a one-week period.

During the works there are likely to be increased noise and lighting levels which may cause some disruption to our neighbours.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and assure you that every effort will be made to minimise any impact.

We appreciate your patience and understanding but should you have any questions or concerns regarding the above works, please contact Olivia Murray at [email protected]

Just spotted that they managed to schedule a week’s waterproofing right in time to get it done before the deluge we had on Saturday. Genius level planning, I assume.

(Less so my visit to the food festival and the soggy Bratwurst I had to negotiate…)

"Soggy Bratwurst?"
"No, it's just the way I'm sitting."

I had hoped we wouldn't stoop that low, thinking we're better than that...... then I remembered this is the smb and of course we're not

Average name but better than the other two

 

[John Steed]

The Ganhyam bridge

I like that name. Only folk up here would know what it means. It would be like a little in-joke.

 

[Wearson]

Q “Which bridge are you going over?”

A “The footbridge”

The official name is of little importance really.
