The duration of the closure was planned for 24 days with a maximum 10 day incentive bonus for opening early. The early opening date to get the full 10 day incentive was December 23; however Williams Brothers has completed the necessary work in the area to shave off another two days to open the ramp tomorrow morning, December 21. The bonus that will be paid to the contractor is $50,000.00 (equal to $5,000.00 x 10 days).
