得克萨斯州运输部和菲隆/德拉格多斯合资企业大楼在科珀斯克里斯蒂市的新港口桥已达成了五个设计项目中的第一个决议，促使官员们提出暂停施工三个月前，在这座耗资9.30亿美元的桥梁的主要跨度上。官员们预计他们将解决其余的问题。

Work has resumed casting delta frames for the 1,661-ft-long cable-stayed bridge, Valente Olivarez Jr., TxDoT’s Corpus Christi district engineer, said during a Corpus Christi Metropolitan Planning Organization Transportation Policy Committee meeting Nov. 3. The contractor will also modify delta frame segments that had already been cast with additional steel to conform with the agreed-upon solution, he added.

A reportTxDOT had commissioned from third-party engineer International Bridge Technologies, a subsidiary of French transportation engineering firm SYSTRA, raised concerns that unreinforced connections between the delta frames and box girders would not adequately resist flexure and sheer.

Work on the towers remains suspended, with four main design safety issues and other smaller items still pending. IBT’s report identified “nonconforming work” related to the capacity of the pylon drilled shafts, deficiencies in footing caps, uplift at intermediate piers and excessive torsion and stresses during construction.

TXDOT发布了默认通知如果承包商没有解决官员的安全问题，则威胁要删除扁平铁/德拉多斯。十月，TXDOT表示已与承包商达成协议一个框架for addressing the issues. Olivarez said he now expects to reach a resolution on the remaining concerns.

“We feel pretty confident, the way we've been moving, that we're going to get to a solution on the rest of these items,” he said.

Flatiron/Dragados由于较长的交货时间即可到达决议，因此本月将开始重新启动起重机。承包商现在正在寻求熟练的劳动来处理塔。

承包商发言人林恩·艾莉森（Lynn Allison）通过电子邮件说：“我们很高兴能够前进，并尽快动员缆车塔塔。”

在项目的其他部分继续工作d during the main span halt. Flatiron/Dragados has been running day and night shifts on gantry work for the approach bridges. As of Oct. 28, the north approach was 81% complete and the south approach was 87% complete, according to TxDOT.

完成后，桥将在Corpus Christi Ship频道上携带I-37，U.S. 181和State Highway 286。现有的桥梁将被拆除。Figg Bridge工程师是该项目的原始记录工程师，但TXDOT在2018年佛罗里达州一座FIGG设计的行人桥2018年崩溃后将公司从该项目中删除。2020年，Flatiron/Dragados选择了ARUP和CFC团队作为该项目的新工程师。
