This picture is from the book Molecular Biology of the Cell, page 258. As shown, both strands are built in both ways at the same time (lagging using Okazaki fragments, and leading without them).
Does this mean that there is not a single new bar during the iteration that contains Okazaki fragments and is built using the leading method?
is that the mean of bidirectional?

DNA cannot carry out two replication processes at the same time, but rather each process takes place at a different time than the other. However, these steps can be followed, meaning one after the other, even in the DNA repair process, as it repairs a single nitrogenous base and not a group of nitrogenous bases in which specific genetic mutations may occur.
