Description
Description | The project involves reconfiguring the Jefferson and Houston Street Viaducts to maintain and improve connections between Oak Cliff and downtown Dallas. The reconfiguration is necessary due to the lowering of the future Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center's footprint to save costs. The plan includes keeping both bridges open to vehicular traffic, creating a two-way thoroughfare on the Houston bridge during construction, and constructing a $66 million bridge connecting Jefferson Boulevard to Houston Street over railroad tracks. The project aims to avoid significant disruption to traffic and maintain access for southern Dallas residents. |
