Just for the people who were concerned about the railings being too low. This shows that there is going to be more shape and height to them (as per the renders we've seen).

The railings look back to front - should they not curve inwards?

No

That's what I thought.
Surely designed to stop possible suicide
issues , would have thought its much harder to climb if they are postioned inward ?

Or you could walk 2 minutes and jump off the Wearmouth bridge, curving the railing in won't stop a determined person.

No cries for help and sitting on a parapet waiting for the emergency services to turn up on the new bridge. Once you're over you're heading back towards mother Earth.

Missing a trick not spraying the centre block sections Red & White mind(both sides).

Chrome I think. The lighting can be red and white.

The size of the Bridge alone is a sight to see, makes the Wear Bridge look small

They're brushed stainless steel
