The project has a $50.8 million dollar construction cost and the construction contract was for 1100 days. The design team for the project plans was lead by URS/E.C.

In addition to the bascule bridge replacement and new bascule spans, this project included the design and construction of a parallel, variable depth, arched, driven pile supported, cast-in-place segmental approach spans that are just over 1,000 feet in length. Also included are; park improvements on both ends of the bridge, a pedestrian bridge under the first segmental span and several blocks of urban roadway reconstruction.
