No. The deteriorated structural condition of the existing bridge is such that it must be removed after opening the new bridge. If left in place, the existing bridge would present a real risk to the new bridge during a major earthquake. The new bridge will have a 12-foot-wide sidewalk for pedestrians and two five-foot-wide shoulders for bicyclists.
