I hope the sides are higher than the town bridge. I hate walking over there.

Im the same, it knocks me bandy

I’m 6”2 and think if I get knocked or a high wind gets me, I’ll be over

But where are people going to have a p*ss before the match??

Behind the deaf club like they do now!

I assume it’ll have a bike lane?

There's a bridge especially for bikes next to it but lower down (if it's still going ahead)

How long will it take and which legend will be opening it

I suppose this means that the zip wire terminating on the Premier Concourse idea is down the can for good now.

During the promotion parade in 2005 when the crowd was following the team bus over the bridge, there was a bloke walking over with his kid on his shoulders right next to the railings. I was looking at him thinking if someone knocked him his kid could easily go over

It depends if they are just cutting a ribbon, 2 or 3 seconds maybe?

Extra pint in the town this bridge

I wonder if this will mean they don't have to close any lanes on the Wearmouth Bridge after games.

I think that must have been part of the plan.

Scary thought. I’m looking for to seeing new one completed and that whole area finished. Will be class. Always thought should have put a tram line down middle of Dame Dot going back and forwards from Roker to Sheepfolds.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Have they got permission to call it the Vaux bridge? Those pretentious people who own the brewery of the same name get a bit touchy if you use the name nowadays.

They should just build the Monorail.
