It has been more than eight years since ground was broken for the new Harbor Bridge project.
The original completion date was set for April 2020, but more than four years later, the bridge is obviously still under construction.
But according to bridge developers Flatiron Dragados, there is progress to report and a new hard target date set for the bridge’s opening.
The installation of the cables that will hold up the bridge will finish in December, while the gaps in the bridge span will be closed by late January. The bridge will open to traffic by June 2025.
Manny Venegas Harbor Bridge Replacement Project Public Information Manager Lynn Allison told KRIS 6 News that the inspection process leading up to the intended target date has been daily.
“With each span, with segment placement, with each cable installation, continuous inspections are underway from third-party experts from TxDOT to the developer’s side of Flatiron Dragados as well,” Allison said.
As seen in the video provided by the Flatiron Dragados, the bird’s eye-view shows how the bridge is starting to take its final shape.
