A multi-million-pound revamp of the Tyne Bridge has seen nine tonnes of pigeon poo removed from the Grade II-listed structure.

The four-year project, said to be ‘one of the most complex’ in the North East in recent years, got underway in April.

Road capacity on the bridge has been reduced to one lane in each direction while the work is carried out on behalf of Newcastle and Gateshead councils.

It is hoped the project will be completed ahead of the bridge’s centenary in October 2028.

The bridge restoration, along with an upgrade to the Central Motorway, is expected to cost £41m.
