And having shown her the pictures, my wife has just asked if it will be open for the Sheffield Wednesday game
I told our lass they are leaving the big crane in place and it will form part of the bridge.
She believed me.

The last picture captures a little of what the route will be like and makes sense of Keel Sq
it’s fantastic.I can’t believe that the council ever agreed to something like a footbridge and then make such a good job of the whole project. Quality and not just cheap “make do”.
Got to hand it to SDC, and I’v been a big critic in the past.

I didn't mean now, I'm asking is that what the plan is
No there’s no concrete getting poured at all

Just watched the video. Cracking stuff. I’m assuming that the blue supporting columns are temporary. When all of the deck is in place it will be removed?
There, will the 4 sections of deck work with each other and the concrete columns to keep it up? In my minds eye I can’t see how it works.

I think Patrick Melia is the best thing to happen to Sunderland in a very long time.

Hi Patrick, you’re doing a great job, keep up the good work
There's was definitely a deck to be poured when I was talking to them but that was a good while back

Yes, once all the services and electrics etc are installed they will be pouring the concrete deck.

Yeah precast deck units i believe, but the bridge itself is voided to allow for future inspections maintenance, utility installation etc

Is there a low level footbridge in the plans too, or did I make that up?
No, its still in the plans for sometime in the future, but no date given yet.

Can’t wait for this to be done. The town is going to look superb in the next 2/3 years
I'll do a longer YouTube video at some point but here's the brief version.

It's flying up.
I obviously know nothing about bridges but its hard to see how it'll take another whole year to complete.
Iirc the yellow crane now gets dismantled and taken across to the other side to lift the south sections in place, then the centre section is lifted in last. All the deck will then have to be built etc as these are hollow sections, so can see how theres still a year to go.
