channel. This is our existing condition. The
equipment comes in, builds the new approaches, starts
building the bridge across. The piers get built, of
course, before the girders and bridge structure gets
placed.
Once traffic is open, as you can see,
northbound and southbound on the same structure, we
disassemble the center arch, which then allows us to
take down the rest of the bridge on a span by span
basis. We then start constructing the new span
across, very similar to the other method. And then
once the bridge is open, we see the traffic in the
full lane configuration.
Where we are right now is basically
we’re zeroing in on the alignment that makes the most
sense for this project, which is for the northern
portion of the project is the inside widening, and for
the southern portion of the project where the bridge
area is is the east alignment, from the least amount
of impact to existing resources within the right of
way limits, and all of those items that Joe just
talked about in that screening document as we’re
moving things together. But this basically is a
current trend in terms of where we are looking.
