Description:
Constructed in 1935, the Sagamore and Bourne National Highway System (NHS) bridges cross the Federal Cape Cod Canal, providing the only vehicular access for 15 towns, 215,000 year-round residents, and more than 35 million vehicles that cross Cape Cod Canal each year. Both bridges, which are owned and maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), are in poor condition and do not meet present and future transportation requirements. The Cape Cod Bridges Program (CCBP) proposes critical transportation infrastructure improvements including replacement of the Bourne and Sagamore highway bridges spanning Cape Cod Canal; reconfiguration of the highway approach networks north and south of Cape Cod Canal to align with the replacement highway bridges; and provision of separated pedestrian and bicycle accommodations along the replacement bridges with connections to the local roadway network.
