The work anticipated on each bridge is as follows: BIN 5522079 Widening (carries VWE over Federal Circle): Widen the existing bridge along the west fascia. Build new abutment extensions on the west side of the bridge and make integral with the existing abutments. Construct new stringers and concrete deck to accommodate the mainline widening. (Existing superstructure stringers and deck will remain in place). Remove portions of existing western wingwalls. Construct new wingwalls aligned with the western bridge extension. BIN 1080650 - New Bridge Structure (carries VWE SB Managed-Use Lane over Belt Pkwy/Nassau Expwy Ramp): New structure will carry the southbound VWE MUL over the southbound VWE Exit 1. BIN 1075710 (existing) / BIN 1080640 (proposed) Replacement on new alignment (carries VWE NB Structure over VWE SB Exit Ramp-Exit 1): Eliminate existing piers. Construct new abutments inward of the existing abutments to shorten the span. BIN 1075630 Replacement (carries Nassau Expressway over VWE): Eliminate Piers 1 and 3. Relocate abutments.

Build new abutment extensions on the west side of the bridge and make integral with the existing abutments. Design proposed stringers with a shallow depth to accommodate the required minimum vertical clearance. Modify existing retaining walls. RAMPS: Existing entrance and exit ramps in the northbound and southbound directions will be either reconstructed in place, removed, or relocated. The main changes to the existing ramp system include: Northbound VWE Off-Ramp to Atlantic Avenue/94th Avenue - Removed. On-Ramp from Atlantic Avenue - Removed.
