Rotherwood Drive
The profile view of the bridge shown at the top (not drawn to scale) provides a view of the cross section of the bridge and roadway slopes.  The pink line represents the existing bridge and current roadway slopes.  The yellow line shows the proposed raise in elevation on the east end (park side) of the bridge and the corresponding lowering of Netherland Inn Road west of the bridge in order to comply with roadway design standards for vertical alignment.

By raising the eastern portion of the bridge, shifting the new bridge to the south, and lowering the western portions of Netherland Inn Road, the intersection of Netherland Inn Road and Rotherwood Drive will no longer be in alignment – in effect, Rotherwood Drive would sit 2’-4’ higher than the pavement for the new Netherland Inn Road.
