and Texas. So this is something within your control.
It's a low-probability risk, but it's important.
Thank you.
MR. BERTOULIS: Thank you. And I do suggest, you
know, you articulate that in writing. I think just in
general, the project will be maintaining the three
lanes that are out there whenever there are peak flows
of traffic. There are a certain few phases when like
during what we call the build-out of the crossover
when the transitioning over a couple nights there will
be some night work, but any of that work could very
quickly be pulled off the road as required. Within
the normal contracts of Mass. DOT puts out, there's a
number of requirements in there for a contractor to
have to get off the road when told whether it's due to
an emergency or whether it's due to certain highway
weekend schedules, so they have the ability to manage
that and that can be done very effectively and has
been done very effectively.
But in terms of the lane count that's out there,
the good thing about this project and one of the key
reasons for the east build of the bridge is that we
are able to maintain lane count during construction
