Coast Guard Notice - NASA Causeway Project Plans
June 16, 2020 US Coast Guard Public Notice and Project plans for the NASA Causeway Bridge (SR405) rebuild project.
The project proposes replacing the existing SR-405 bascule bridge with a higher level fixed bridge, consisting of two, 12 ft. wide travel lanes in each direction with limited shoulders. The overall length of the bridge structure will be 4025 ft. long (abutment to abutment). The out-to-out width of the proposed high-level fixed bridge structure will be 121.-8 ft. The replacement bridge will be conducted in two phases. Phase one will construct the eastbound bridge. Once traffic has shifted to the eastbound bridge, the existing bascule bridge will be demolished and the westbound bridge constructed, causing no disruption to vehicular traffic.
The Office of Environmental Management (OEM), as the lead federal agency through National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) assignment has made a determination that the proposed project is a Categorical Exclusion (CATEX) for purposes of NEPA. The Coast Guard made a tentative determination the project qualifies as a CATEX because it satisfies criteria for such actions listed in the Coast Guard’s NEPA Implementing Instructions.
