Yes No
The existing accident rate with the nonstandard feature is lower than the statewide accident rate. No increases in accident rates, severity, and costs are expected due
to the nonstandard feature. The application of the proposed mitigation measures, including additional signage, pavement markings, and improved lighting and their
attendant crash reduction factors would decrease the crash rate at this location to 0.211 acc/mvm.
$ 150 Million $ 50 Million
Provide additional signage, pavement markings and improve lighting on the bridge.
Adjacent segments will have standard 12' lanes. Retaining 11' lanes at Bronx River Drawbridge will not have adverse impact on future Drawbridge plans. Investigate
the use of pedestrian bridges parallel to existing to provide wider vehicle lanes.
Providing 12' lanes and shoulders will require Bridge replacement including mechanical equipment, existing abutments and provide adequate navigational clearance.
Properties taking and parks access will be impacted. Retaining existing bridge structure will have no adverse impact to any demographic characteristics of the area. No
impact to exsting wildlife and marine life in the Bronx River.
Recommend retaining existing lane width at Drawbridge and transition to adjacent segments. Recommend to provide additional signing and pavement markings.

Yes No
The existing accident rate with the nonstandard features is lower than the statewide accident rate. Increasing the right shoulder width to the standard value where possible is expected to decrease accident rates, severity, and costs in these sections. The crash reduction factor associated with the shoulder widening is expected to reduce the accident rate to 0.479 acc/mvm.
$500 Million Not applicable
Primary purpose of project is to improve access to Hunts Point Food Distribution Center and to rehabilitate existing expressway (including deck replacement and repairs). Widening of existing structure to meet standard for shoulder widths would not be feasible due to physical constraints (private property, buildings, railroad tracks, etc.) on both sides of the expressway. Provide support for breakdowns and emergencies through indcident management system (VMS/ITS), standby oncall towing service.
Bridge structure is compatible with adjacent segments. Widening of structures would impact future plans to build a Metro North Station by Hunts Point Ave.
Widening of the bridge structure will impact adjacent railroads (Amtrak - Northeast Corridor, CSX and NYCT #6 line). Modification of existing piers will impact Bruckner Blvd below, which includes a bicycle facility.
Maintain existing 4ft left and 4ft-6in right shoulder widths from E141st Street to Tiffany Street. Provide 4ft left and standard 10ft right shoulder from Tiffany Street to Hunts Point Ave. Provide 4ft left and 4ft-6in right shoulders from Hunts Point Ave to Longfellow Ave (Bruckner-Sheridan Interchange). At the sharp curve increase the inner curve from 1ft to 8ft to improve stopping sight distance. No shoulders on Drawbridge see non-standard justification on lane width for drawbridge. Retain existing elsewhere.

The existing accident rate with the nonstandard feature is lower than the statewide accident rate. Increasing the horizontal curve radius and shoulder width at the
sharp curve would improve stopping sight distance. The proposed mitigation to increase stopping sight distance is expected to decrease accident rates, severity, and
costs at this location, resulting in a projected accident rate of 0.583 acc/mvm after application of the appropriate crash reduction factor.
$ 700 Million Not applicable
Primary purpose of project is to improve access to Hunts Point Food Distribution Center and to rehabilitate existing expressway (including deck replacement and
repairs). Widening of existing structure to meet standard for shoulder widths would not be feasible due to physical constraints (private property, buildings, railroad
tracks, etc.) on both sides of the expressway. Provide advanced warning signage of sharp curve, increase shoulder width at the sharp curve to improve stopping sight
distance.
Widening the expressway from two lanes to three lanes and the removal of non-redundant truss bridges will allow for continues three lanes expressway. Rebuilding
the curve and bridge over the railroads will allow for improved vertical clearance over the railroads. Proposed flatter radius, grades and shoulders will improve
interchange safety and operations.
Achieving standard values would not be feasible due to physical constraints (private property, buildings, businesses, school, etc.) on both sides of the expressway.
Achieving standard values will also impact adjacent railroads (Amtrak-Northeast Corridor, CSX and NYCT #6 subway line).
Project goal is to provide 6 continuous lanes from Hunts Point Ave to Whittier Street along with reconfigure the Bruckner Sheridan interchange to remove the left
hand entrance ramp. Several improvements are proposed including flatter horizontal curvature, shoulders, improved Sight distance, improved grades, removal of
non-redundant truss bridge and improved vertical clearance over the railroad.

Provide wider shoulders at the curves to improve stopping sight distance. Provide advance warning signs at curves and advise use of a slower speed.
Future provisions could remove the median barrier to convert the ramp into a two-way ramp to provide a wide traveled way width.
Widening of the bridge structure will impact adjacent railroads (Amtrak-Northeast Corridor, CSX and NYCT #6 subway line). Route-895 (Sheridan) will also need to be
widened to acommodate a wider ramp. Severe ROW impacts will affect several businesses along Edgewater Road and on Bruckner Blvd. Park access to Garrison Park
will be affected as well.
Since Route-895 (Sheridan) is located between NYCT-#6 Line and Amtrak-Northeast Corridor there are ROW limitations, a 18 ft wide lane cannot be accommodated to
fit all 4 ramps (ESN, ESS, SN and SS) with in the ROW limits.

Provide wider shoulders at the curves to improve stopping sight distance. Provide advance warning signs at curves and advise use of a slower speed.
Future provisions could remove the median barrier to convert the ramp into a two-way ramp to provide a wide traveled way width.
Widening of the bridge structure will impact adjacent railroads (Amtrak-Northeast Corridor, CSX and NYCT #6 subway line). Route-895 (Sheridan) will also need to be
widened to acommodate a wider ramp. Severe ROW impacts will affect several businesses along Edgewater Road and on Bruckner Blvd. Park access to Garrison Park
will be affected as well.
Since Route-895 (Sheridan) is located between NYCT-#6 Line and Amtrak-Northeast Corridor there are ROW limitations, a 18 ft wide lane cannot be accommodated to
fit all 4 ramps (ESN, ESS, SN and SS) with in the ROW limits.

The reconstructed ramp would include one additional lane as compared to the existing ramp. The reduction in queue lengths and the addition of the new lane is anticipated to reduce accident rates, severity, and costs, resulting in a projected accident rate of 0.77 acc/mev after application of the appropriate crash reduction factor.
$500 Million Not applicable
Use of proper signage and pavement markings to direct drivers to the intended travel path and destination.
Due to the geometry at Westchester Avenue, it is not recommended to widen the ramp to standard widths including shoulders to avoid impact to NYCT elevated structure and Westchester Avenue bridge spanning over Sheridan Boulevard.
Widening of the structure will impact adjacent roadway, Sheridan Boulevard, requiring removal of travel lanes. Will impact adjacent railroads (Amtrak-Northeast Corridor, CSX and NYCT #6 subway line).
Due to impact to adjacent roadway, standard shoulders cannot be accommodated. Given that one travel lane is not enough to accommodate the traffic through the ramp, two lanes will be recommended.

Adjacent and existing segments have 12' lanes. Retaining 12' will not have any impact on adjacent segments.
Widening of the roadway will impact parking lanes , requiring removal of travel lanes and/or parking impacting businesses access requring parking and/or loading
areas. Sidewalk and pedestrian access may be impacted as well. Impact to adjacent CSX freight line. Access into parks (Garrison Park and Hunts Point Riverside Park)
well be affected.
Recommend retaining existing roadway width. Recommend to provide additional signing and pavement markings.
