Delaware’s Indian River Inlet Bridge project is now under way. First step was to close a lane on the approach to the existing bridge to enable installation of a retaining wall. Construction of the cable-supported single arch bridge is due to start in summer. Seven contractors have been pre-qualified for the scheme. The new bridge has been designed by Figg Bridge Engineers to cross the 305m inlet in a single span because the high velocity water flows cause scour problems at the existing bridge’s piers.
