Most bridges have a camber on whether that be side-to-side or end-to-end so water runs off. With foot bridges it's nearly always the latter, road bridges the former.

They're doing the aesthetic stuff now main bits are in place apparently

It would’ve been a godsend yesterday, Wearmouth Bridge and St Peter’s area were as jam packed as I’ve seen it, obviously in part caused by certain parts being closed and police vans taking up loads of room.

Maybe this architects mockup didn't look great
Poster above mentioned its width etc which will make it seem quite special to use

yeah, that's what I meant when I said due to the nature of the photo. It's just an effect of a panoramic photo, photoshop can sort that out

I asked that question on the other thread and it’s going to be a park. The visuals look stunning.
If everything comes to plan the whole area will be fantastic.

It goes over it.
I've not been over that side of the city in years in a car so can somebody tell me what the parking is like? I do like the idea of approaching the stadium via the footbridge, but dinnit want a chew on with traffic and or parking.
Got St Mary’s right next to it, and a massive multi story at trimdon street not far away.

The visuals are on the other thread - worth a look.

There's a thread on PF about a Stadium extension, I know this gets regularly trotted out and previously if it had happened would just have mirrored the North Stand if the South Stand was done, nice but fairly boring in reality. But looking at this picture can you just imagine how good it could be done with a decent Architect involved (a very rare commodity)Trying to regain my crown as Sunderland's number one bridge botherer.Just a trial run this morning but got some decent footage and an idea of what I want to do next.

I'm genuinely surprised at how many people are interested in my videos. Last one had over 1k views in less than 24 hours. Nowt by YouTube standards but it's a canny niche subject.
The upper tier could be a fully glazed elevation looking back over this view in reverse with an internal wide concourse taking in the full view. People would be queuing from 5 o'clock at night to get in for night games to watch the crowds coming from the City across the bridge. Once all the new developments, housing and film studio are complete the view should be amazing.
It would be one of the more photographed Stadiums in the Country and a shoe in for Tournaments and concerts
Design it so it could be used as an event space during the week as well to generate further income

It'd look canny, but I doubt people would be in the ground from 5 o clock though mate. That's a bit of a stretch.
