New Wear bridge
The New Wear Bridge is a new crossing over the River Wear in Sunderland, North East England, currently under construction. A cable three span cable-stayed structure, construction began in May 2015, overseen by Farrans Construction and Victor Buyck Steel Construction.
The Bridge had been proposed as early as 2005, however financial uncertainties caused significant delay. After funding was approved by the United Kingdom treasury, an iconic design was opted for which was dropped after several contractors withdrew. Then, in 2014, the project was rejuvenated with a cable design.
==Specifications==
The bridge is being constructed to the west side of the city over the River Wear, with the purpose of reducing traffic congestion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Regeneration projects: SSTC )〕 It was designed by Spence Associates in partnership with structural engineering firm Techniker, and has been tipped to become a landmark for the city. The bridge was designed in 2005, but it was kept confidential for several years by the City Council to avoid a rise in expectations until funding was secured. Until then the council was also considering designs for a cheaper, basic design beam bridge. The cost of the Spence design was estimated at £133 million for the bridge and the associated approaches and roadworks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sunderland City Council: A new bridge for Sunderland )〕
The crossing forms part of the vast regeneration plan of the urban regeneration company Sunderland Arc, who's aim was to use the bridge as part of its plans for a Sunderland Strategic Transport Corridor to improve transport links while also helping to improve the city's image.〔
