Bridge Improvements
Overall access and connectivity in the Eastside are limited by large flood plain areas, interstate highways, rail lines, and other barriers. The degree to which the transportation system can support new growth and development may be dependent on the construction and/or rehabilitation of bridges throughout the study area. Table 10 summarizes potential bridge improvements to address deficiencies in network connectivity and safety and/or to support future growth and development.
