Texas DOT says crews from joint venture contractor Flatiron/Dragados LLC can lift
delta frames into place and continue construction of the main span
towers.
Work on the bridge towers remains suspended, but the contractor will begin remobilizing cranes this month with officials anticipating full dispute resolution.
Work was suspended on the project's cable-stayed portion based on unspecified safety concerns over the planned installation of some bridge structure elements.
The joint venture will complete engineering work on the new $930-million U.S. Route 181/Harbor Bridge in Texas, taking over from original engineer-of-record FIGG.
More than six months after design work was halted on its signature cable-stayed main spans, construction of the new Harbor Bridge in Corpus Christi, Texas, has pressed ahead, even as uncertainties shroud its ultimate cost and completion schedule.
