Crossing a channel or wetland on Lake Lewisville property requires a properly engineered bridge — not a makeshift span that fails in the first flood. The lake's wind fetch, dam-controlled levels, heavy DFW recreational 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 clay and limestone. Walkway and boardwalk approaches are integrated to provide seamless access from the bridge to the waterfront.

Bridge repair along Lake Lewisville: evaluating pilings in clay and limestone, replacing decking and framing, upgrading hardware, and restoring structural capacity. Shore Protect Team determines whether repair or replacement is the right approach for each crossing.
Treated wood is the most economical for shorter spans on Lake Lewisville. Steel provides the greatest load capacity for longer spans and vehicle traffic. Aluminum offers the longest lifespan with minimal maintenance. Material choice depends on span length, loading, and exposure to wind fetch, dam-controlled levels, heavy DFW recreational traffic.
Starting at $35/sq ft for new construction and $25/sq ft for repair on Lake Lewisville. Final cost depends on span length, width, load rating, material, piling depth in clay and limestone, and any railing or lighting requirements.
Lake Lewisville is subject to wind fetch, dam-controlled levels, heavy DFW recreational 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 clay and limestone 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 clay and limestone, full replacement is usually the better investment.
