Date: 21/03/2022
A Metro bridge which serves one of the networks busiest routes between Newcastle and North Tyneside is to be completely replaced this summer in a £3m project - creating more space for better bus links and road freight to North Shields Fish Quay. The Tanners Bank bridge, which is located on the Metro line between Tynemouth and North Shields, is to be removed to allow an entirely new bridge to be constructed in its place. North Tyneside Council and Nexus are working in partnership to improve this key road into the Fish Quay as part of the councils wider North Shields regeneration plan, as well as making sure the Metro can run smoothly for decades to come.
