Construction of the three bridges will impact traffic flow on Henderson Street, White Settlement Road and North Main Street. 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. A citywide public meeting was held on August 4t"to provide an overview of the bridge construction projects as well as share details about the timing of the detours. An invitation to the public meeting was extended to neighborhood associations across the City and approximately 35 citizens were in attendance. A couple of business owners along North Main Street expressed concerns regarding local access to their businesses during construction. The project team, working with the business owners, identified a solution that will still enable these businesses and their customers to have local access during construction. No other concerns were raised by attendees as a result of the bridge construction and associated detour plan. A summary of the work required to implement the detour plans for the Henderson and White Settlement areas is summarized in the map below. No formal action is required by the Council at this time in conjunction with the detours or limited street closures.
