MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, WY – The National Park Service seeks public comment on a proposal to replace the Yellowstone River Bridge in Yellowstone National Park. The bridge is located on the Northeast Entrance Road near Tower Junction.
怀俄明州猛犸温泉——国家公园管理局就更换黄石国家公园黄石河大桥的提案征求公众意见。该桥位于塔路口附近的东北入口道路上。
This project will maintain safe visitor access from the park’s Northeast Entrance since the bridge is part of the only road corridor in the park that is open year-round and plowed in the winter. Built in the early 1960s, the concrete deck, sidewalks, and parapets have deteriorated.
由于该大桥是公园内唯一一条全年开放且冬季会进行铲雪作业的道路走廊的一部分，因此该工程将保障游客从公园东北入口安全进入。该大桥建于 20 世纪 60 年代初，其混凝土桥面、人行道和护栏已出现损坏。
The Environmental Assessment (EA) analyzes impacts to geothermal resources, visitor experience, vegetation, and wetlands in the project area. The EA evaluates three alternatives.
环境评估（EA）分析对项目区地热资源、游客体验、植被和湿地的影响。EA评估了三种选择。
In Alternative A (no action), the bridge would remain in its existing condition.
方案 A（不采取行动）：大桥将保持现有状态。
Alternative B (the preferred alternative) would replace the bridge with a larger 1,200-foot-long bridge about 500 feet south of its existing location. One mile of new road would be constructed to line up with the new bridge location. Following construction, the existing bridge and approximately 1.5 miles of existing road would be removed, and the area restored.
方案 B（首选方案）：在现有位置以南约 500 英尺处更换一座更长的大桥，新桥长 1200 英尺。将修建 1 英里长的新路，以与新桥位置相接。工程完工后，将拆除现有大桥及约 1.5 英里长的现有道路，并对该区域进行修复。
Alternative C would include construction of a new bridge directly adjacent to and slightly north of the existing bridge. Following construction, the existing one would be removed. The new bridge would be about 600 feet long and the road that approaches the bridge would be moved north.
方案 C：在现有大桥紧邻北侧稍远处修建一座新桥。工程完工后，拆除现有大桥。新桥长约 600 英尺，通往大桥的道路将向北迁移
Alternative B and C would reconstruct and widen the 24-foot-wide bridge to a 30-foot paved width. In addition, 1-1.5 miles of road from Tower Junction to the Yellowstone River Picnic Area will also be widened to a 30-foot width. Both alternatives would reconfigure and expand the Yellowstone River Picnic Area and improve turnouts for vehicles along the road.
方案 B 和方案 C 都将对这座 24 英尺宽的大桥进行重建和拓宽，使其铺装宽度达到 30 英尺。此外，从塔台路口到黄石河野餐区 1-1.5 英里长的道路也将拓宽至 30 英尺。这两个方案都将对黄石河野餐区进行重新规划和扩建，并改进道路沿线的车辆停靠点。
Construction would begin in the summer or fall of 2022 and will continue through 2024, depending on funding availability.
工程将于2022年夏季或秋季开始，并将持续到2024年，这取决于资金的可用性。
If the proposed project is implemented, construction delays would vary by alternative. This could range from no delays to up to 30 minutes with occasional two to four-hour delays. There may be temporary closures, including regular nighttime closures, depending on the alternative. The public would be notified of closures in advance if they occur.
如果该拟议工程得以实施，不同方案造成的施工延误时间会有所不同。延误时间可能从无延误到最长 30 分钟不等，偶尔还会出现 2-4 小时的延误。根据所采用的方案，可能会有临时封闭措施，包括常规的夜间封闭。若发生封闭，将提前通知公众。
