Indian River Inlet Bridge
Description
Replaces a 1965 steel girder bridge of five spans totaling ~860 feet. The 950' mainspan of this newer bridge spans the entire inlet, whereas the previous bridge had two sets of piers in the inlet that were subjected to scouring - leading to it needing to be replaced. With the pylons set back over 200 feet from the inlet on each side, future widening of the inlet is possible without interfering with the bridge's foundations.
