Grammar

We are nearly finished with the Bridge between NuTown and Corporate and China’s XC/CBE and Loyalty projects will be using that initially.
We are nearly finished with the Bridge between NuTown and Corporate and China’s XC/CBE, so Loyalty projects will be using that initially.
Using ‘so’ instead of ‘and’ makes it more clear that this is a result of the first clause. The result is that Loyalty projects will be using the Bridge soon because it is nearly finished.

I’m tired with 15-minute showers
I’m tired of 15-minute showers
I’m fed up with 15-minute showers
