Home to over 277,000 people, several key infrastructure projects in and around Sunderland have been designed to unlock the city's exceptional economic potential.
The £117m Northern Spire Bridge, opened to traffic in August 2018, forms a central part of the 5-phase Sunderland Strategic Transport Corridor plan, which looks to enhance connectivity between Sunderland’s Enterprise Zones.
An estimated 6,000 new jobs are expected to be created across a number of new development sites unlocked as a result of the strategy, which will also deliver significant economic, regeneration, and transport benefits to Sunderland.
