When the project was -- highway was built in the seventies and widened to the four lanes and the shoulders went away, the parking lot was removed and also the old sidewalk which had fallen into disrepair was removed at that point in time. This brings you across to the area where the -- that stout barrier is in place adjacent to Whittier Point. Coming up on the Evans Place bridge, I-95 over Evans Place. And we're coming to the end of this loop and we'll turn this off. There are a series of slides which you've seen a couple of them. We have two perspective points. If you came across some of the slides, they were all from the Newburyport shore and we also have some from Amesbury but I'll just run through them very quickly. This shows you the bridge in it's existing condition. This shows you as we're building adjacent to the existing bridge and what we're building. All three lanes on each direction are operational. As you can see, there's three piers in the water. The coloring shows you relatively speaking the depth of the water. The water in this area is shallow. The ATM, Inc 339-674-9100

In terms of the permitting, there is the Army Corp. Channel, the Federal Navigation Channel which comes up, aligns with the Hines Bridge. We'll be placing navigation lights on the -- either side of the bridge structures. Naturally the Federal Channel ends up in this area. In addition, it was built -- it was created and mapped and marked later but it wasn't there originally when the bridge was built in the fifties but the local community created a channel to the south for boaters who didn't want to have to deal with the Hines Bridge who couldn't get under the Chain Bridge. This became the preferred route for most the boating activities, the Steamboat Channel. That'll also now receive navigation lighting on that structure. There isn't any right now but the new structure will have navigation marking that channel very clearly. In the documents which are going forward with the Coast Guard, we're showing a construction area for the contractors to utilize between the channels as well as on the western side as well as barge lay down storage ATM, Inc 339-674-9100
