Description
Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge by Debra Martz
Using leading lines from the white art structure (which is located at the Corpus Christi aquarium) guides the eye to the Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge which spans the ship channel that connects to the Gulf of Mexico.
.
The harbor bridge over the ship channel is often described as having a distinctive Napoleon hat style look; the metal bowstring bridge was built in the 1950s. Work is underway to replace it with a taller, wider and modern cable-stayed bridge. Flatiron/Dragados has been involved in 31 cable-stayed bridge projects worldwide, including nine in the United States. When the new Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge is complete it will be the longest of its kind in the nation, measuring 1,655 feet at its main span.
The clearance over the ship channel will be higher than the current one at 205 feet above the water, compared with 138 feet today. Its planned shared-use path will be wider for pedestrians, and will include an extended observation area with telescopes and curved benches.
Replacement of the bridge is slated to cost $898 million. Construction of the new Harbor Bridge is expected to continue until early-2020, and the old Harbor Bridge is expected to be gone by the following year.
UPDATE: It's March 2023 and the new bridge is still not completed.
