US 278 Bridge Repair MS
Bridge-bent FRP work at Fourmile Creek was supported by coordinated shop drawings and Mississippi DOT review.
Delta Structural Technology completed FRP work for the US 278 bridge repair at Fourmile Creek in Mississippi. The project’s scope addressed bridge bents and included a formal product and shop-drawing review through Mississippi DOT. The work illustrates the link between an externally bonded reinforcement layout, the supporting product information, and agency acceptance of the proposed installation documents.

Project challenge
The reinforcement scope needed to be translated into a coordinated field package for the bridge bents. That required more than a material description: shop drawings, product-equivalency information, and product data were submitted together. Access below the structure was also a planning consideration, with lifts or working platforms identified as a contractor provision in the initial scope discussion.
Project approach
Delta assembled the FRP shop drawings with a product-equivalency report, product data, and safety information for review. The submission progressed through the contractor to Mississippi DOT, which returned the drawings marked for furnishing as submitted. This established the documented reinforcement package around which the installation could be organized.
Delivery and coordination
The engineering-submittal process was coordinated with the operations team responsible for scheduling. The project correspondence connected the contractor, the agency reviewers, and Delta’s engineering-services and field-management roles. This handoff mattered because the accepted drawing package and the arrangements for access both influenced readiness for the bridge work.
Project significance
US 278 at Fourmile Creek demonstrates a bridge-wrap scope supported by a traceable approval process. The technical emphasis is the connection between the reinforcement drawings and the information supporting the selected system. Coordinating those documents with access planning helps bring the engineered scope into the field.
