Margaret Hunt Hill (Woodall Rodgers) Bridge
The City of Dallas is embarking on one of the largest and most complex urban development projects in the country. The Trinity River Corridor Project covers 20 miles of the Trinity River through the heart of Dallas and was originally developed in 1965 to improve flood protection for the downtown vicinity, the adjacent south community of Oak Cliff and West Dallas. Beginning in the mid 90s, City planners realized that the Trinity River had been a neglected natural resource and began the development of a bold and vibrant urban revitalization project that includes flood protection, environmental restoration, an urban park with lakes, rivers, trails, and recreational facilities, major transportation improvements and economic development. In May 1998, the citizens of Dallas approved the development of the Trinity River Corridor Project. At the heart of the Trinity River Corridor are two (2) bridges designed by internationally acclaimed architect, engineer and artist, Santiago Calatrava. The design of the Margaret Hunt Hill (Woodall Rodgers) bridge is complete and under construction. The Margaret McDermott (IH 30) bridge design is nearly complete and will be let with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Project Pegasus Phase I scheduled for completion in December 2010. These bridges will reconnect north and south Dallas by linking the Trinity's banks, promoting economic development and spurring neighborhood revitalization. The Calatrava bridges will serve as the Dallas landmarks for the 21st century.
