Newburyport side about potentially a possible<br />
connection with the new abutment for walking as<br />
there’s a lot of informal trails in that area right<br />
now. Those are some things we’ll be working out with<br />
the town as we look at these issues.<br />
Also, the project, as we’ve said, will<br />
require Ferry Road <strong>Bridge</strong> to be replaced. And when<br />
the Ferry Road <strong>Bridge</strong> gets replaced, the new bridge<br />
will be wider. And that wider bridge will be able to<br />
take care of the on-bike road routes by allowing a few<br />
more feet of shoulder space to accept those -- the<br />
bicycles on the bridge in a safer manner.<br />
One of the issues that has come up is<br />
the Newburyport Water Department has wells on either<br />
side of the highway. The treatment plant is here and<br />
they actually have a surface water system which was<br />
recently activated.<br />
They have existing lines which run<br />
under the highway, which is this dashed line here.<br />
And the other line comes up this side. The two lines<br />
run down Ferry Road. As they go under the existing<br />
highway -- they were placed there when the project was<br />
built back in the ‘50s -- so those lines are near the<br />
end of their service so we’re looking at replacing<br />
