Maybe a water-taxi would be a better investment?

Good idea- aka as a ferry.

Short run ferries are used all over Scandinavia to avoid having to drive around fjords and rivers. Access to tidal river could be achieved utilising a floating pontoon and link. Peanuts compared to cost of building a bridge. Once the reconstruction oft the tees works site begins something will be needed.

Is there any political appetite for any new crossings?

Sounds like the sort of thing the Tees Mayor Elect would be getting behind (like his airport)
