Progress
The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, the largest portion of the Trinity project started thus far, is currently complete and open to traffic connecting Spur 366 to Singleton Blvd. The Margaret McDermott Bridge, the second signature bridge, was originally scheduled to begin construction in 2011 with a completion date of 2014. However, as of December 2011, this bridge is now funded within the Project Pegasus initiative with construction contracts to be awarded in mid-2012; the new plan will feature 'toned-down' elements of its original arch design. Calatrava is still scheduled to perform design work. The Trinity River Audubon Center opened in mid-October 2008. The set of trails and parks included in the project have varying start and end dates: for most, construction has already begun or will begin this year and is set to be complete in 2009. The standing wave will also begin construction in 2008 with a completion date of spring 2009. Both the sports complex and horse park are slated to break ground in 2009 with completion dates of 2010 and 2011 respectively. The two lakes are scheduled to begin construction in 2011 with an opening date of 2014. Due to funding issues, the completion dates on many of these projects have been pushed back.
