Memorial Park Reaches Construction Milestone on $70 million Land Bridge
houstonchronicle.com | By Ryan Nickerson
The installation of the first tunnel arches has begun at Memorial Park, marking a construction milestone for the Land Bridge and Prairie Project.
The arch segments currently being erected are for the two tunnels going over the eastern mound of Memorial Drive and once those are completed, the west mound tunnels will begin.
Memorial Drive will remain open throughout the bridge construction, according to the Memorial Park Conservancy, but traffic has been reduced from three lanes to two each way within the project area.
