The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of replacing the existing rail bridge over the Barge Canal at the Burlington Rail Yard with a wider structure to accommodate additional rail sidings to improve the operations and efficiency of the yard. The study used existing data, plans, and other information to develop bridge concepts, evaluate benefits and impacts including risks to the Superfund Site, and develop planning level cost estimates.
