Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge design activities suspended
The Texas Department of Transportation released a statement Thursday evening confirming design of the new Harbor Bridge has been "suspended."
The release comes after KRIS Communications made inquiries into reports that the FIGG Bridge Group, the firm charged with designing the new Harbor Bridge, had been removed from the project.
“The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) continues to fully review the recent findings by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for applicability to TxDOT projects," the release reads. "During this review, TxDOT has asked Flatiron/Dragados, LLC, the developers of the Harbor Bridge Replacement Project, to suspend design activities on the Harbor Bridge project."
There is no word on how long design has been suspended, or for how long the move further delays the bridge's construction.
