- bridge will be box-truss design, corten “weathering” steel
- long ramps of gentle 3 degree incline, just like the train tracks
- pedestrian stairs leading from bridge to Loop 288 sidewalk
- rail trail is 8′ wide, bridge will be 10′ wide and 700′ long
- bridge building will take 4-6 months, done by end of 2011
- rail trail to be complete at same time as DCTA A-train line (aka, next few months)
- city council already approved $1,165,000 funding from Hwy 121 toll revenue
- send comments and suggestions to robert.tickner@cityofdenton.com
