Local leaders celebrated the official groundbreaking Saturday of a bridge that will link the pedestrian and bike trails on either side of U.S. Highway 75 in Dallas.
The bridge, which is scheduled to open in 2023, will go over the highway to join the Northaven Trail on the west of the highway with the White Rock Creek and Cottonwood trails on the east side, as well the SoPac Trail.

Parks build bridges because we link the public with open space and nature and beauty and building communities, and that s just metaphoric, Dallas Park and Recreation board President Calvert Collins-Bratton said. Now we are literally building a bridge from east to west, which as we all known in Dallas, it s very hard to get east to west.

Dallas’ trail system is about to get a little more connected. On Saturday, crews will break ground on a bicycle and pedestrian bridge spanning U.S. 75 just north of Royal Lane in North Dallas to connect Northaven Trail to trails east of the highway, including White Rock Creek and Cottonwood Creek. The half-mile expansion of the Northaven Trail, which the Texas Department of Transportation is building with a $9.3 million price tag, is expected to open by spring 2023.
