The next view shows you the modelled image of what the new structure will look like. Another view from the shore just before the chain bridge. It actually is a still shot looking straight up the Federal Channel. The Federal Channel will also have navigation lights on it as well as the Steamboat Channel which is the southern channel within the river; the split channel being the Steamboat and this being the Federal Channel. We have another similar view looking from the chain bridge. This is the view of what the new bridge will look like. We have a view over at the Whittier Point Condominium area. This is actually today what this looks like. This fence line is actually the edge of the state-owned right of way. There's a rubble wall at the top of the wall coming into the project line. Just from a -- just, you know, pay attention to the tree and the light (inaudible) that's right here and also the vehicle. As the project moves east, basically there will be a wall built on the right of way. It's on the ATM, Inc 339-674-9100

And conceptually, the wall will have some sense of an architectural treatment on it. There will be a planting zone. The actual highway element is up here with the barrier with a sturdy snow fence because the first phase, you can see the final phase looks like a cut-away, but the first phase the shared use path is not here and vehicle traffic is right here. And so there's a 42-inch highway barrier out here and also a debris barrier to prevent any snow from snow operations from getting, you know, thrown over the wall. And that'll protect this particular residence. It's a very stout wall and will perform that function very well. This is the southbound view coming from Salisbury from the north, you know, looking across the bridge with the great seals of the state. There's another residence nearby, Hawkswood Estates. This is the view down near the point that we have today. This edge of the highway, the western edge of the southbound highway will stay exactly like it is. As the highway gets widened, the northbound is actually pushed hard to the east. The existing bridge comes out; the new bridge is built on top of it. It is wider than the ATM, Inc 339-674-9100
