 Alternative C3 (b), a variant of Alternative C3 (a), involves a lower bridge structure and a slightly different alignment. Alternative C3 (b) includes a 37-meter (120-foot) high bridge with a 152-meter (500-foot) wide main span, providing clearance for Columbia class ferries, but not larger cruise ships. This variant would have the same general alignment on Revilla and Gravina Islands as Alternative C3 (a); however, the bridge over Tongass Narrows would be positioned approximately 300 meters (1,000 feet) farther north. With this alignment, the bridge would touch down (reach the ground surface) in front of the airport terminal and eliminate the need for an airport return loop road. The EIS is assessing the no-action alternative and nine build alternatives:
