Will the new bridge increase flooding?
No, the new bridge will not increase flooding along Television Road. It will provide a larger waterway opening and greater reliability in keeping the road open during significant floods.
Will the new bridge include sidewalks?
Yes, the bridge designs will accommodate pedestrians and cyclists on either a sidewalk or multi-use path.
Will the bridge be 4 lanes?
For now the bridge will remain at two lanes (one lane in each direction). The ultimate (future) bridge is being planned for 4 lanes (2 lanes in each direction). The future timing of the widening of Television Road to 4 lanes, as identified in the City's Comprehensive Transportation Master Plan, will be defined through a separate Environmental Assessment study.
