North Shields riverside redevelopment

This will affect Hadrians Cycleway, Reivers Route and C2C (Tynemouth)

The redevelopment of old Smiths Docks has begun. On completion this
means that the above routes can be adjusted away from light commercial
grot and a poor housing backwater, to a nice gentle incline connecting
Ballast Hill Road (Royal Quays Estate) to New Quay (next to Shields
Ferry Landing). This will be an improvement for us.

I dunno the timetable for completion. I will find out and report back.

Nice. So I take it this will this provide a more direct route through to
Tynemouth, as the final third gets pretty messy when cutting in and out
of housing and industrial estates.

Just wish they'd improve the paving alongside the coast road. Would love
to take my road bike through this route, but the paving is in such poor
condition I fear my carbon frame will just snap! This one is MTB only at
the moment.
