What well continue to look at and weve looked at a couple options including the building and connector road first, well continue to look at what the different options in terms of how those projects are staged and scheduled. Our goal will be to minimize that closure to within the period of the jerrold avenue bridge closure. That was about in the 3 to 6 month range.
