Waterfront properties on Guadalupe River often need bridges to cross channels, tributaries, and wetland areas that separate the main property from docks, boat houses, or additional waterfront acreage. The river's limestone bedrock and gravel substrate and flash flooding, dam releases from Canyon Lake, strong current events define the structural requirements.
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 river's limestone bedrock and gravel. Walkway and boardwalk approaches are integrated to provide seamless access from the bridge to the waterfront.

Bridge rehabilitation on Guadalupe River: structural assessment, selective demolition, piling evaluation, deck and rail replacement, and load rating restoration. Shore Protect Team restores aging bridges to current structural standards.
Pedestrian-only bridges on Guadalupe River 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 Guadalupe River. Final cost depends on span length, width, load rating, material, piling depth in limestone bedrock and gravel, and any railing or lighting requirements.
Guadalupe River is subject to flash flooding, dam releases from Canyon Lake, strong current events. 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 limestone bedrock and gravel 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 limestone bedrock and gravel, full replacement is usually the better investment.
