All right and then a notice to proceed on this at least a portion of the contract would be pretty quick. Yes okay now would like commence the traffic study correct when do we know when Al Dot is going to give us the idea of what their design actually is I don't I don't think I could really speak for that maybe they well we could reach out to Al Dot I think that we're going to have to study both scenarios and it really depends on funding if if they don't have sufficient funding they may leave those ramps where they are that's what they've been doing now for the last eight years anyway those ramps go all the way back to uh the Jones administration especially ones going over the top of uh Fort Conde uh those were supposed to have come down years ago you know ideally I thought we we were planning on those ramps not being there and diverting port and commercial traffic around the water street area if the ramps stay there I think we need to take into account what it looks like if commercial traffic continues on water street I mean that's right Ms. President thank you Miss Brett um Chief have we with this traffic study with everything going on with the bridge have we looked in how that would be a part of that as well with the new bridge yeah this this traffic study won't impact the new bridge okay uh but the new bridge could impact our traffic study depending on how they configure that traffic coming off the interstate it could have a significant impact and I think what we're looking at is probably more the northbound traffic that's coming out of the port or coming off of I 10 headed north from here the eastbound traffic and westbound traffic would be taken care of eventually by the mobile river bridge.
