The widening will provide 11-foot travel lanes with 6-foot shoulders (4-foot paved plus 2-foot unpaved) along the entire length of the project. A 6-foot sidewalk will be constructed to the west of the roadway. The typical section of the proposed bridge consists of two, 12-foot travel lanes, 6-foot shoulders on each side, and a 6-foot sidewalk on the west side of the bridge. The proposed bridge width and length is 44 feet 7.5 inches and 142 feet, respectively. The final design shall confirm or modify these parameters for the bridge.
