10 metres wide, to put that into perspective the pier is 7.5 metres

Feels big when you're on it . It'll be fantastic when it's finished

 

[garyeaststand]

No it wasn't

According to the fella on the latest podcast it was, what date was it if you know?

 

[BellionGoalVsVilla]

They’ve been working through the afternoons to get the waterproofing work done so perhaps

 

[MiddleAgedMan]

You on a windup or something?

Yeah I am. The bridge is genuinely going to be officially named Regis Le Bridge after a manager that will probably work in Sunderland for a few years its history. Enjoy!

Were they just working half a day on it before? Lazy bassas.

 

[Shandy drinker]

Is it called will now?

 

[houghton cut head]

It's being demolished...it's been built on a sacred native American burial ground

I've heard its sinking anyway, so only a matter of time.

 

[You can call me Al]

I’m going on the bridge next Friday and free lunch, should be canny. If it sinks I’ll gan to Propa for a 15 quid pie.

There has never been an official opening date. The Women's Rugby World Cup game was just the date someone mentioned and ended up in the media

 

[Geppetto]

If we called it Wayne.

[Buzzer]

The extra pre-match pint bridge

 

[robbie54]

Is that the bridge that the public had to pick a name for but the Council gave us three names to pick from. So it's actually a name the Council have chose.

well he was talking about a scheduled completion date, in terms of the project, when they then officially open it is a different matter

Who was doing the podcast

 

[seaham ftm]

Any news on whether they’ll still be closing lanes on Wearmouth bridge or will this negate that need?

Haven’t seen anything official but this would negate that need.

I'd said way back on this thread, this new bridge is near as makes no difference the same width as roker pier.

The pier walkway is exactly 35 ft wide, which is around 10.5 meters, the perspective you get is maybe a little different as the railings on the pier are offset from the edge.

 

[TB22]

Lots of complaints about the City Councils three final choice names .

Looks like anything to do with football is ruled out.

Just call it the , Just Eat, Deliveroo Way,
