Progress has stepped up in recent weeks, with work under way in the river on foundations to support the bridge’s 105m-tall pylon.

* The Echo has joined forces with Sunderland City Council to find a name for the bridge.

The first phase will agree on a theme for the name, after which people will be asked to vote on their favourite from a shortlist.
