The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) completed the bridge’s design and associated infrastructure earlier this year, paving the way for the park’s construction later this month.

This five-acre ‘park with a purpose’ is hoped to promote the revitalisation of the community, environment, and economy in Oak Cliff and the wider region.

It is estimated that two million people will visit the park a year, resulting in more than $1bn in economic impact in the first five years of its opening.

Southern Gateway president and CEO April Allen said: “This generational project will lead to increased green space, significant economic development, and safer, healthier places to live and play.
