PURPOSE: The purpose of this meeting is to present the concept alternative selected to replace the existing
Casey Overpass Structure that will be advanced into 25% design phase, and the expected plan for public
involvement and development of design going forward. The selection of the preferred alternative is the
culmination of an extensive planning study process conducted over the past year as a collaborative effort

recommended alternative will be advanced into design phase for eventual construction within the
schedule of the Commonwealth’s Accelerated Bridge Program.
