According to officials, the bridge is slated to be replaced by a “new structure that meets the region’s transportation needs.”
The new bridge will include bicycle and pedestrian accommodations while increasing capacity by adding a third lane and shoulders, officials said.
Friday’s blast marked the fifth of eight implosions, with the dates of the remaining three demolitions yet to be determined.
