The final two sections of the Riverside Sunderland new multi-million-pound New Wear Footbridge has arrived at the Port of Sunderland. The remaining sections, with lengths of 63 and 105 metres respectively, will be shipped upriver to site and prepared to be lifted into place, as the bridge begins to take shape. The shipment marks the next milestone in the construction of the city landmark which is expected to open to the public next summer. The footbridge, the centrepiece of the Riverside Sunderland masterplan, will see workspace for over 8,000 people and homes for 2,000 residents delivered over the next decade. Directly connecting the Sheepfolds area of the city with Keel Square in the city centre, it really is a key part of our city masterplan, which over the course of the next decade will see billions of pounds invested in the city.
