Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge This year’s 5th Annual Trinity River Levee Run changed course and runners participating in the race on March 7, 2009, ran from Trammel Crow Park to Canada Drive and then across the Continental Bridge, thereby getting a close view of the construction taking place from the west to the east side of the levees at the site of the new Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. Progress is moving along at a rapid pace for the construction of the bridge. The anticipation is building toward the arrival of steel from Italy; it is arriving from over 5,000 miles away. Current estimates gauge it reaching Texas waters by April. Once the steel docks in Houston, it will continue its journey to Dallas. Watch our progress!
