Highlights of Bridge Design
• The deck is narrower • Sidewalks and bike lanes are wider • A “buffer” separates the vehicle lane and bike lane • The new bridge is “Joint-less” • Aesthetic features are more reminiscent of historic era

Traffic during Construction • Summit Avenue will be closed (except to local access) • Ayd Mill Road will be reduced to one lane in each direction • Syndicate, Grand, and Dunlap will temporarily change
• We will implement our plan, then observe actual patterns.
We will have adjustments ready to go, if needed.
• We will coordinate with our contractor to determine construction phasing and its effects on traffic.
• Expect some inconvenience and delay, be safe, be patient.
