The project provided for Preliminary Design (Phases I-IV) work for the replacement of bridges deemed critically vulnerable to flood risk. These bridges were selected for replacement based on a preliminary screening of the Bridge Inventory System maintained by NYSDOT. To maintain the accelerated project schedule, expedited reviews and decisions by participating agencies required extensive coordination between the design team, NYSDOT Region 9, and the NYSDOT Main Office.
