On either end of the bridge you can access either access the cycle paths along the River Derwent or the river-side route (Keelman's Way) to Gateshead. Some of the paths are narrow and could be better maintained. Some care is needed navigating the crossings here.

River Derwent narrow bridge, junction at the Tyne, with sharp turns, blind spots and steep ramps, depending which way your going.
