SIMULATION: No Bridge Through Forest Hills

The Department of Transportation created this simulation of how traffic would flow under one of two final proposals for the future of Forest Hills.

This video by the Department of Transportation shows a simulation of traffic on a weekday morning in 2035 if no bridge is built to replace the Casey Overpass, which is being torn down.

This is called the "at-grade" solution and is one of two remaning options being considered.

There are many more documents and materials about the project at the department's Casey Overpass Web site.

This video was taken from the audience during a standing-room only meeting on Monday night at the State Labs on South Street. The voices you hear are audience members and transportation officials.

State officials plan to choose one of the two options soon. They said they would inform the neighborhood Working Advisory Group of their decision on Dec. 12 and hold a public meeting at on Dec. 14 for the general public.
