Document Description
The proposed project is a grade separation that will result in closure of the existing (tunnel) crossing & the creation of a new 2,000' long 4- lane, grade- separated roadway over POLA mainline tracks with connecting roadway approaches on both ends. Proposed construction would include a 115' span, precast girder bridge; retaining walls, embankment fill, grading & paving, landscaping, & traffic signal modifications at the intersection of Ferry St. & Terminal Way. Removal of trees & brush would be performed for construction & operation. An approximately 3- acre lay- down area for storage of materials & equipment would be used for construction operations. Proposed construction would be approximately 18 months. The purpose of the project is to increase public safety, improve traffic, increase the efficiency of the local transportation system, reduce train noise & whistles, reduce emergency vehicle response times, & reduce air pollution from idling vehicles waiting to navigate through the tunnel.
