I found this online - Its a video on how they'll be building the new bridge. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4er2d49YB0
Seems a lot of work to be done before they even start it... like knocking buildings etc down

(24 Mar 2015, 9:25 pm)AIG20 There will be road closures on Seaburn during the Easter Holidays, which will cause severe (possibly major) disruption to bus services E1,E2,E6,18,19,99 & 558; as well as disruption to the local businesses - that I assume would usually make more money during this period. Some bus services, such as service E1, may end up missing a big chunk of their usual route...

Seaburn does indeed appear to be rather problematic: https://www.stagecoachbus.com/tis-servic...px?id=5060
Oh dear, i can see LOTS of traffic build up and people panicking.

I agree, the bus stops need sorting, to many buses stopping at the same bus stop.
Fawcett street is the worst...out of all the bus stops on that road, one stop only has the 9 stopping their.. so why not move the 9 to the stop where the 35 etc stop and move all the buses up 1 from the first stop.
Example:
So 12/33/33A etc up one to the 4/16 stop
4/16 to the current 3/13 stop
3/13 to the 35/36 etc stop
35/36 will move to the 9 stop
E1/2/3 etc will remain at the same stop.
Rest on the road will remain the same.. also means the 9 bus stop isn't wasted on one bus stop!
Means the first bus stop will become free and wont cause congestion...

(31 Mar 2015, 7:50 pm)Michael I agree, the bus stops need sorting, to many buses stopping at the same bus stop.I think the 2/2A and 39 should be moved to Stop on Borough Road outside The William Jameson/Winter Gardens when heading to Silksworth/Doxford alongside the Stagecoach Services 10/11, Those 3 Stops outside Wilkinsons are the problematic ones, the others from Wilkinsons on wards up Fawcett Street are fine, although I have often wondered why the 20/20A(Old 35 Series) and E1/E2/E6 serve two Stops on Fawcett Street.

(31 Mar 2015, 8:33 pm)cbma06 your example will just cause confusing to passengers, It depends which way the bus service goes when it leaves the city centre, service 9 goes to East Boldon etc..., the first bus stop on Fawcett Street is a bit busy, but when the Stagecoach service 20/8 goes back to its originally route when the Vaux bus stops reopen. only bus service that should stop at first stand on Fawcett Street should be the Docks service, the rest should use the old 10/11 stand and the 18 stand on Athenaeum street.
