NXL. Indian River Inlet Bridge, Delaware

Indian River Inlet Bridge
Delaware

The purpose of the Indian River Inlet Bridge Replacement project is to construct a new bridge on SR 1 that spans the existing 500-foot wide fixed inlet, with a cable stay bridge that does not contain bridge piers in the inlet. This replacement project helps avoid the known local and long-term scour problems experienced by the existing and previous bridge piers within the inlet. Part and parcel to this improvement is an opportunity to improve and enhance the safety of the traveling public crossing the structure, including automobiles, pedestrians and bicycles, and to maintain SR 1 as an evacuation route for Ocean City, Fenwick Island, South Bethany and Bethany Beach.

The Indian River Inlet Bridge is a critical link for SR1, which serves regional and seasonal traffic along the Delaware and Maryland coast and is the only land access for visitors to the Delaware Seashore State Park.

NXL is currently performing inspection on the Indian River Inlet Bridge. Inspection services include the inspection of poured concrete, pile driving and footers, along with the substructure and superstructure of the bridge.
