So the first thing that would happen is that we move southbound over for the first time onto the new bridge and that'll be sometime in 2016, at which time the three lanes of traffic which have been constrained on the new bridge, the middle barrier will be removed, the traffic will be moved over, the barrier will be replaced to create the shared use path which is at the edge of the breakdown lane, at which time this bridge can then go from three lanes northbound to four lanes northbound. That'll take a couple of months to do so we won't get four lanes northbound until a couple of months after you get the four lanes southbound. I'll just run you through these pictures real quick. Same thing, but I'm not going to have any descriptions this time. Same thing, from a different vantage point over in Amesbury looking southwest. So basically demolition starts, traffic is over in the temporary condition, build out the bridge, place the truss. Traffic -- southbound traffic is moving, you have to reconfigure northbound and then you'll end up with the final condition that we have with the shared use path, the overlooks along the edge ATM, Inc 339-674-9100

This actually gets you onto the shared use path and the ability to move around the site and get a look at this bridge from various perspectives. It goes through a start-up routine. It's almost like a video game starting up but then I'll be able to take control and then show you some different perspectives. So you're coming up the bridge in a Coast Guard Zodiac boat right now. Under the Chain Bridge. This is giving you an aerial perspective. So this basically shows you from different locations of, you know, basically what the bridge looks like. And this control is -- I'm under water right now. It's very sensitive. This is not my normal computer. I had to get one which has more power. You'll look at it from different perspectives. What I really have this for you is basically to show you the walk demonstration. This gets you out onto the shared use path. It has the ability to walk. This is an example of what one of these interpretive panels can look like as you're looking out over the river. From barrier to barrier it's 14-foot. The ATM, Inc 339-674-9100

various perspectives. It goes through a start-up<br />
