Project Background

considered and assessed as part of the EA.
• Once the preferred location was determined, various design alternatives were
considered.

• A bridge with a
combination of stairs and
elevators for access was
identified as the
recommended preferred
design.
• This is the early concept
design from 2011. See later
slides for current detailed
design.
