About the Trinity River Corridor Project:
The projected $2 billion Trinity River Corridor Project is the largest and most complex public works and urban development project undertaken by the City of Dallas, and is first and foremost a flood protection solution and one of the largest of its type in the nation. The project consists of five major components: flood protection, transportation, recreation, environment management, and business development. The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, designed by internationally known architect Santiago Calatrava, is under construction and will be completed in 2011. A second Calatrava designed bridge, the Margaret McDermott Bridge (I-30), is planned for a later date. The Trinity River Audubon Center (TRAC), a flagship location for the Texas Audubon Society, is a beautiful teaching and recreational site in the Great Trinity Forest. TRAC celebrates its first anniversary October 10-11, 2009. Gateway Parks, such as Moore Park Gateway, are under renovation, and Loop 12 Gateway is being designed. In addition, over ten miles of new trail has been completed, as is the 70-acre Lower Chain of Wetlands. For project updates and to watch the bridge progress, visit: www.trinityrivercorridor.org.
