<\/p>\nInstallation of the arches that will be placed at the Silver Line bridge over US 75 is expected to begin next month. The bridge will feature two arches; one on the south side and one on the north side. Each will be about 400 feet long and 80 feet above the roadway at the highest point. They will also feature white and blue accent lighting to help the bridge serve as a gateway and visual branding for the city for both rail passengers and drivers on US 75.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The arches are currently being fabricated. Installation\u00a0of\u00a0the south side arch is expected to take place June 4-7, with associated overnight lane closures occurring on the frontage roads, US 75 main\u00a0lanes\u00a0and ramps from US 75 to the President George Bush Turnpike as needed. The northbound arch\u00a0is expected to take place July 16-19. More information on specific lane closures will be published in Week in Review, on the City\u2019s website and on social media prior to them taking place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
