I think, in this case, it's best to keep the traffic moving as freely as possible using the most direct route.

Opening up the Askew Road Bus Gate to all traffic will not only have major impact on buses but general traffic on the Tyne Bridge approach too - the very reason Askew Rd east was made bus only in the first place.
