The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Norfolk District and the City of Chesapeake hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the Deep Creek Bridge Replacement project on May 25, in Chesapeake, Virginia.
The project is nearly 46 years in the making and participants gathered to commemorate the beginning of this $59.5 million endeavor. The new bridge will replace the functionally obsolete, federally-owned Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway Deep Creek Bridge which cost $64,000 to construct in 1934. The current two-lane, 20-foot-wide, single-leaf bridge will soon be a 144-foot-long, 60-foot-wide, five-lane, dual-leaf drawbridge.
