Bourne Bridge Overview
• Built in 1935
• Four Lanes
• No Shoulder or
Lane Separation
• Typically 45% of
traffic
• Daily delays,
especially in
Summer season
• Bottlenecks at
Bourne & Belmont
Rotaries

Sagamore Bridge Overview
• Built in 1935
• Four Lanes
• No Shoulder or
Lane Separation
• Typically 55% of
traffic
• Daily delays,
especially in
Summer season
• Bottleneck at Exit 1
on Cape side

Project SPAN Objectives
Safety
• Improve emergency evacuation and/or first responder
access
Access &
Mobility
• Reliable access and mobility ensuring quality of life on
the Cape
Connectivity • Improved connectivity among Routes 3, 6, 25 & 28
Project
Delivery
7
• Demonstrate the viability of alternative delivery options
in Massachusetts and provide opportunity for private
investment
Safety is a Concern
Cape Cod Emergency Traffic Plan (CCETP) Prepared by
the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency
• Purpose is to Facilitate exit off from Cape Cod, Nantucket
and Martha’s Vineyard in Emergency Situations
• Designed to Reduce Congestion and Keep Traffic
Flowing Over the Bourne and Sagamore Bridges, as
well as on Feeder Roadways - Routes 6 & 28
Current Bourne & Sagamore Bridges lack modern safety
features
• Narrow lanes
• No barriers or shoulders
• No pedestrian or bicycle separation

Sagamore Twin Options
17
Sagamore Twin Options Overview
• New bridge located immediately west of existing Sagamore
Bridge
• Designed to latest safety and multimodal (auto, bicycle,
pedestrian) access standards
• Three tolled lanes on-Cape traffic only on the new bridge
• Existing Sagamore converted to off-Cape traffic only (3 lanes,
no tolls)
• Existing Bourne Bridge unchanged (2 lanes in each direction,
no tolls)
• Several possible road configurations for connectivity to Routes
3 & 25 on the mainland and Route 6 on the Cape
18
Mid-Canal Crossing Options
19
Mid-Canal Crossing Options Overview
• New bridge located roughly midway between Sagamore and
Bourne Bridges
• Designed to latest safety and multimodal (auto, bicycle,
pedestrian) access standards
• Two-way tolled traffic with lane configuration to be determined
• Existing Sagamore and Bourne Bridges unchanged (2 lanes in
each direction, no tolls)
• Provides opportunities for interconnection of highways
• Several possible road configurations for connectivity to Routes
3 & 25 on the mainland and Routes 6 & 28 on the Cape

Value Proposition for SPAN
Demand
Toll Revenue
Ancillary
Opportunities
21
•
94,000 average vehicles per day use Cape bridges
•
128,000 average vehicles per day during peak season
•
Travelers will pay a toll to cross the new bridge for
quicker Cape access
We are currently modeling how many and at what toll
level
•
•
Depending on selected layout, there may be an
opportunity for service plaza facilities
Planning Efforts to Date
•

•
•
Peak Season Multimodal Data Collection – August 2014
Legislative Outreach – Early October 2014
Outreach to Bourne and Sandwich – Early October 2014
Study Working Group Formed – 1st Meeting Late October
2014
• Off-Peak Data Collection – Scheduled Late October 2014
• Regional Travel Demand Model Under Development
22
Project SPAN Environmental Process
NEPA/MEPA Documentation
• NEPA Class of Action Determination is required from
FHWA, the lead federal agency. Project is expected to
require preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS)
• For MEPA, project will require preparation of an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which will be
combined with the NEPA document. The MEPA process
begins with the filing of an Environmental Notification
Form (ENF)
• The environmental process will involve interested
stakeholders and the public
23
Project SPAN Permits
Anticipated Major Permit Approvals
• Potential Individual Section 4(f) Evaluation for use of US Army Corps
recreational land along the canal (Mid-Canal Option) and other historic
impacts
• Section 106
• Land Disposition from US Army Corps of Engineers
• US Coast Guard Bridge Permit
• Section 10 and 404 Permits from US Army Corps of Engineers
• Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act coordination with National
Marine Fisheries
• Coastal Zone Consistency Determination
• Section 401 Water Quality Certificate
• Public Waterfront Act (Chapter 91 Waterways License)
• MassDEP Variance from the Wetlands Protection Act
