CHEQUESSETT NECK BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
- MIG has begun work on the permanent bridge, beginning with the installation of steel sheeting around the perimeter of their current work zone.
- MIG’s upcoming work will focus on installation of stone armor scour protection along the downstream side of the existing dike. Stone armor is comprised of various sizes of large stones that are bedded along the river bottom. These stones will act as scour protection against the daily tidal flow that will pass under the new bridge.
- Note that fish passage and tidal flow is maintained during construction.
