(19 Nov 2015, 8:16 pm)Michael Think its the wrong road, that looks like the road towards the current bridge at Deptford.
Is not for the plans for the area which will be developed because of the new bridge so people build on it etc, i'm sure i read they wanted to develop it.

A update on the VAUX site:
The team are in the process of pulling together a planning application for the Vaux site, which is due to be submitted in the coming weeks.

North Bridge Street - summary of the proposed improvements
The proposals include allowing two-way traffic on North Bridge Street and Dame Dorothy Street as well as some alterations to the Wheatsheaf Junction and streets nearby.
The aim of these changes is to improve traffic flow in the area and onto the Wearmouth Bridge. It is intended to reduce the length of time taken for journeys into and out of Sunderland city centre and encourage economic development.
A detailed analysis of traffic in the area has been carried out to ensure that the proposed changes will have a positive impact.
Subject to consultation, work could begin in 2017 and be completed before the Tall Ships event in 2018. The council has already identified a budget of £4m for the project.
