CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Three months after work stopped on the new Harbor Bridge, State Senator Chuy Hinojosa said progress continues to be made on the project.
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) halted work on the main cable-stay portion of the Harbor Bridge early in July, citing design flaws potentially could have caused the bridge to collapse.
According to Senator Hinojosa, an agreement was made last week to continue construction on the bridge with developers Flatiron Dragados.
Senator Hinojosa said, "[Flatiron Dragados has] agreed to pay all costs that will be incurred because of the changes that we make, to make sure that we have a safe bridge being constructed."
The deal’s proceedings are projected to wrap up quickly to minimize further delays in construction.
