Completed in 1998, this project stabilized and rebuilt the river channel section from Houston Street to Commerce where the channel slope drops dramatically from the shallow upstream Hugman section to the broader and deeper concrete River Bend “cutoff” channel. Sidewalks, hardscape, and landscaping in this reach had to be replaced in the historic style of the River Walk.
Trail access impact – Mission Reach
Due to a SAWS project, pedestrian access to the Mission Reach trail from E. Hart Ave & Mission to Thelka Street will be limited. Signs indicating where the work is being done have been posted. We apologize for the inconvenience.
