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.
