| Alternative 3: Rehabilitate
the existing bridge to handle traffic in one direction, and build a new
two-lane bridge to handle traffic in the opposite direction. |
|
| The
new bridge would be designed so as not to detract from the visual effect
of the existing bridge. Traffic would be maintained
during the project. The cost of rehabilitating
the existing
bridge and building a second bridge would be about $45 million. |
 |
 |
|
Maintenance
costs for the new and existing bridge would be about $9 million over the
next 50 years. Right of way and roadway construction costs would be about
$3 million, bringing the total cost to about $57 million. |
