The new bridge will restore tidal flow into the river basin improving water quality, restoring native salt marsh habitat, increasing resilience of the floodplain, and reviving the river’s ability to sequester heat-trapping greenhouse gases.

This large environmental project is a true collaborative effort among the Town of Wellfleet, National Park Service, Cape Cod National Seashore, National Resources Conservation Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Friends of Herring River as well as the contractor and consultant partners. EP will oversee construction with Weston & Sampson as the Owner’s Project Representatives. MIG Corporation has mobilized and is starting the initial phase of construction work.

October 2023 Update

The team is making steady progress on the Herring River Restoration Project!

The pile foundations are in place and the pier caps are being completed for the temporary bridge. A significant portion of the stone armor scour protection is in place. The temporary bridge superstructure work will be underway in October and November, allowing work to then commence on removing the old dike and the permanent bridge abutments. MIG Construction has completed over $5M of work to date on this $29M project.

February 2024 Update

Construction of the new, temporary bridge over Herring River has been completed by MIG Construction. The final step before the bridge can be open to traffic is the relocation of overhead utilities which will be commencing in the coming weeks.

The temporary bridge will now allow work to begin on construction of the foundations for the new bridge and tide gates. When this work is completed, the existing dike can be removed. The new bridge will restore tidal flow into the river basin improving water quality, restoring native salt marsh habitat, increasing resilience of the floodplain, and reviving the river’s ability to sequester heat-trapping greenhouse gases.

Over $9M of construction work has been completed to date from the $29.9M construction contract.
