Crossing a channel or wetland on Lake Granbury property requires a properly engineered bridge — not a makeshift span that fails in the first flood. The lake's wind fetch, dam-controlled levels, recreational boat traffic generates forces that must be accounted for in the design.
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 lake's limestone and clay. Walkway and boardwalk approaches are integrated to provide seamless access from the bridge to the waterfront.

Bridge repair services on Lake Granbury: addressing rot, corrosion, settlement, storm damage, and structural inadequacy. Targeted repairs when the substructure is sound; full reconstruction when it is not.
Pedestrian-only bridges on Lake Granbury 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 Lake Granbury. Final cost depends on span length, width, load rating, material, piling depth in limestone and clay, and any railing or lighting requirements.
Lake Granbury is subject to wind fetch, dam-controlled levels, recreational boat traffic. 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 and 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 limestone and clay, full replacement is usually the better investment.
