Bridge construction on Aransas Bay requires engineering for span length, load rating, flood clearance, and foundation conditions in soft mud and sandy clay. Shore Protect Team builds pedestrian, golf cart, and light vehicle bridges that handle the bay's specific forces.
Shore Protect Team builds bridges from treated wood, steel, and aluminum — selecting the material that matches the span, loading, and exposure. Pilings are driven to refusal or engineered depth in the bay's soft mud and sandy clay. Walkway and boardwalk approaches are integrated to provide seamless access from the bridge to the waterfront.

Bridge repair on Aransas Bay: replacing rotted decking and stringers, reinforcing or replacing corroded steel, resetting shifted pilings in soft mud and sandy clay, upgrading railings, and restoring load capacity. Shore Protect Team evaluates each structure before recommending repair versus replacement.
Pedestrian-only bridges on Aransas Bay are designed for 40-60 psf live load. Golf cart bridges need 100+ psf. Light vehicle crossings require full vehicular load rating. Shore Protect Team engineers each bridge for its intended traffic.
Starting at $35/sq ft for new construction and $25/sq ft for repair on Aransas Bay. Final cost depends on span length, width, load rating, material, piling depth in soft mud and sandy clay, and any railing or lighting requirements.
Aransas Bay is subject to southeast wind fetch, boat wakes from Intracoastal Waterway, tropical surge. Bridges must be designed with adequate flood clearance above the design water surface elevation. Pilings and abutments must withstand scour forces from flood current in soft mud and sandy clay substrate.
If pilings and primary structural members are sound, most decking and railing damage can be repaired. If pilings have settled, corroded through, or been undermined by scour in soft mud and sandy clay, full replacement is usually the better investment.
