It is great to finally see the progress on the Thunderdome. Having seen it in person I remain stunned at how colossal the structure is.
It is of course not terribly useful unless and until its partner tunnel a quarter mile further south is in place, as well as the approaches to the bridge another quarter mile south, and a permanent bridge at the forks to sew the whole sequence up.
But moreso, all this (fabulous, please do not get me wrong) effort is only to connect to Bermondsey and maybe the Hydro lands.
The missing link is from the lower East Don to the fabulous section that has been built in the upper East Don. We can only hope that whatever becomes of the redevelopment of the Flemingdon golf course includes such a link.
