The design includes bike lanes, sidewalks and wider lanes.

Project Goals

To construct a bridge that accommodates multiple modes of transportation
To provide bike lanes and sidewalks while continuing the level of service provided along the rest of the roadway
To provide wider lanes or buffers to allow more separation between motorists and nonmotorists/pedestrians
