This Federal State funded project includes the removal, replacement and relocation of the transfer bridge, bridge support float and all offshore mooring and berthing structures.  The new marine transfer bridge and associated support float system would be moved from the existing location about 110-feet to the west in order to utilize deeper water for the bridge float and avoid future accumulated stream sediments within the region of the existing bridge support float.

The Engineer's Estimate is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. All work shall be completed by August 31, 2015. The DBE Goal for this project is 8.8%.
