Keel Line Sunderland
The Keel Line provides significant development opportunities, running from Crowtree Leisure Centre and will extend to the Stadium of Light on completion of the new £31m 'smart bridge' which will provide direct connectivity between the city centre and the north side of the river, home to the Sheepfolds Stables social, leisure and hospitality development, as well as Sunderland AFC's Stadium of Light and the planned British Esports Association's UK Campus.
The completion of the Wear Footbridge is expected to strengthen the Keel Line route which will be used by thousands of people on a weekly basis, as well as providing significant economic benefits to businesses located within the immediate vicinity and along the Keel Line.
