North East & Cumbria - New Wear Crossing Site Visit
New Wear Crossing Site,
2pm start; 1pm transport from Newcastle Central Station
Prior to the CIHT’s Annual Dinner, we will visit the New Wear Crossing in Sunderland.
This is a unique chance to visit the north east’s premier construction site, and meet the people who will transform travel across Sunderland and the wider area.
This £117 million bridge will provide improved crossing facilities between the A1231 and B1405 will reduce journey times, particularly during peak periods. Before the bridge is opened during the Spring of 2018, the CIHT are invited to learn more about its construction. During the visit there will be an opportunity to visit the site and talk to individuals working on the project.
This event is restricted to a maximum of 20 CIHT members, with a nominal charge of £5 per person. Optional transport will be provided from Newcastle city centre.
