Design Construction Impacts
We are investigating the staging requirements between this project and the projects at either end of the bridge. This project will be a two season project.

Environmental Impacts / Compliance
The Sellar Bridge is on the national historic register. A 4f style process at the State level will be required for bridge truss modifications to allow for sufficient vertical clearance. A hydraulics permit and shorelines permit will also be required.

Impacts to Traffic
This project will heavily impact commuter traffic. The region is investigating the use of night shifts to minimize construction impacts to the traveling public.
