Over the past few months, the Sea Bright Bridge team has been working to create the overall design of the bridge, along with the design of the deck, supporting members, and foundations. Figure 1 below shows the design of the bridge pending final review. The design consists of nine spans; eight 50-foot spans and a center span of 75 feet as well. Each span of the bridge maintains a 5% slope, and the average height of each of the intermediate towers is 15 feet. Using this design, the bridge surpasses the minimum required vertical clearance of 65 feet, as well as appeals to the aesthetics of the surrounding communities. In the coming weeks, the team will finalize the design as well as supporting members, and finalize the design of the intersections and surrounding roads to accommodate and promote the increased pedestrian travel.
