Scaffolders from Infrastructure Site Services Ltd and Final Seal – Shrink Wrap Specialists have completed another key stage of the Tyne Bridge restoration project.
After finishing the west up-and-over scaffold last week, the teams battled through poor weather to install the containment sheeting and apply the final shrink wrap seal — marking a major milestone in the project.
The structure is now fully enclosed and ready for blasting to begin. The achievement follows months of strengthening work on the bridge’s hangars and road deck, essential to support the extensive scaffolding installation.
With the west side now complete, attention turns to the east side, where crews will soon begin erecting scaffolding across the remaining section of the bridge — aiming to showcase the entire road deck fully scaffolded and contained.
Meanwhile, big changes are also on the horizon for the Newcastle Quayside scaffold, with updates expected soon.
