CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE June 2015 — June 2017 Project Details »» The new bridge will be wider (59 feet versus the current 37 feet). In addition to 12- foot vehicle travel lanes in each direction, it will provide a 6-foot bike lane/shoulder in each direction, a 5-foot wide sidewalk on the north side, and a 12-foot wide multi-use path on the Estuary side.
