The Keel Crossing bridge will be officially opened, offering fans a new route from the city centre to the Stadium of Light and forming a key part of the new matchday experience.

2.00pm – Fan Walk-Up

Supporters are invited to join the walk-up to the Stadium of Light, complete with flags from This is Wearside and drums to create a vibrant and united pre-match atmosphere.

That's simply stunning footage.
Thanks for all your content on the thread, it's been a pure pleasure watching it come together.
Cheers, I've enjoyed doing it albeit it was never my intention when I bought the drone. :lol:
I'll try and put together a video of the whole construction when I get the time.
We've got a new bridge gong over the Trent in a few weeks, being lifted in by Europe's biggest mobile crane. I'm taking a day off work to get some drone shots of that one :lol:

I'll be walking over the Wearmouth Bridge and revelling in the space and comfort. I might even start a Wearmouth chant and fit it 'Keel wankers' somewhere
