 This made way for an industrial/business park, Newburn Riverside, the first phase of whose construction was completed in 2005.As of 2009 it was still expanding, and expected to provide 5,000 jobs and £116 million of private sector investment once completed.The park has a cycle route and nature trail around its edge, which takes visitors, walkers and cyclists beside the river and past the point in which the North station's cooling towers once stood.
