Notification of increased evening construction noise - new Wear footbridge

VolkerStevin and Sunderland City Council would like to inform you that essential preparatory works will be carried out on the New Wear Footbridge to prepare the bridge deck for waterproofing which will protect it from water infiltration and corrosion.

The works will commence on Monday 2 June 2025 and will take place between 4pm and 10pm for a one-week period.

During the works there are likely to be increased noise and lighting levels which may cause some disruption to our neighbours.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and assure you that every effort will be made to minimise any impact.  

We appreciate your patience and understanding but should you have any questions or concerns regarding the above works, please contact Olivia Murray at customer@volkerstevin.co.uk
