A third-party design review of the under-construction Houston Ship Channel bridge project indicates numerous areas of concern, according to a report released by the Harris County (Texas) Toll Road Authority (HCTRA).
In January, the authority had halted construction of the $962-million bridge—designed by FIGG Bridge Engineers—after an initial review uncovered an issue related to design of the curved portions of the main pylons’ legs on the bridge’s cable-stayed segment.
