The proposed bridge will replace an old bridge considered unsafe for axle loading of more than 3 tons. It will provide a safe highway crossing of the waterway, improve traffic flow and increase the capacity of the highway for heavy vehicles. The new bridge will enhance aesthetic values of the vicinity and reduce noise. The new bridge will have a possible adverse effect on the waterbird rookery located immediately adjacent to the bridge site on the north side, by causing the birds to vacate the area, alter their reproductive behavior patterns and reduce the species population.
