x* SUBJECT: UPDATE ON NORTH MAIN STREET TRINITY RIVER VISION BRIDGE
1q�1=rn
1875 CONSTRUCTION AND ASSOCIATED DETOUR
Construction will soon begin on the new North Main Street bridge in conjunction with the Trinity
River Vision project. The new bridge construction will impact traffic flow on North Main Street
beginning early April and extending into the spring of 2018. City staff has been working with the
Tarrant Regional Water District, Trinity River Vision Authority, Tarrant County, U.S. Army Corp
of Engineers and TXDOT so that project construction will minimize impact on businesses in
proximity to the proposed work.
The project team, working with the local business owners, have identified traffic routing solutions
that will enable the businesses in the immediate vicinity of the bridge construction work and their
customers to have local access during construction. As shown below, traffic utilizing N Main
Street will be detoured onto North Commerce Street between NE 7th and NE 11th Streets.
TXDOT's contractor, Texas Sterling, is currently raising the underground utility appurtenance
frames and covers to the new street grade on North Commerce and will be performing street
overlay work during the month of March in preparation for the opening of the project detour in
early April. It is anticipated that the detour will remain in place until the early spring of 2018
when the new North Main Street bridge will be opened to traffic.
No formal action is required by the Council at this time in conjunction with the detour.
