Construction of the Shoreham Footbridge will begin in August.
The project is estimated to take 45 weeks and come in at a cost of £9.8m.
Work was due to start in spring 2012 but was put back for a review of costs and technical details.
Pieter Montyn, council cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “I understand the frustration the delay has caused but it is important that this work was carried out prior to the start of the construction phase.
“The new footbridge will be a great asset to Shoreham."
