Info

Festival have higher clearance requirements than are proposed. Several industrial users may be affected because their operations periodically use crane barges that require higher clearances at high water. The U.S. Coast Guard will make the final decision. It appears that most users can be accommodated with 77.52-foot clearance and the proposed bridge will be adequate for river traffic, accommodating the majority of users without restrictions. S.6 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES Table S-2 summarizes environmental impacts that would occur with the No-Build Alternative, the LPA to Park Avenue, the MOS to Lake Road, the streetcar and Related Bridge Area Transportation Facilities, and Ruby Junction, followed by a discussion of major effects by area by environmental topic.
