Bridge Embankments Set to be Removed at the End of April

Per WBOC.com:

INDIAN RIVER INLET, Del. - The Delaware Department of Transportation say workers will be removing the approaches for the scrapped Indian River Inlet Bridge project beginning the week of April 28.

DelDOT announced that the contract for the partial removal of the approaches for a new Indian River Inlet Bridge has been awarded to Richard E. Pierson Construction Company Inc. for the amount of $1,467,989.

The project is scheduled to last 100 days.

DelDOT says removal work will not be done between noon Friday and 9 a.m. Monday during the summer or on holidays.

The revised bridge construction project is expected to take more than three years and cost an estimated $150 million. That is $30 million more than the design that was scrapped.
