Bridge-opening event advisories
PARTY ON!
Bridge-o-Rama and our sister celebrations will take place as planned on March 2-4. News reports have confused some as to when the bridge will be open to vehicular traffic. The City of Dallas and TXDoT had hoped that the bridge would open to vehicular traffic at the conclusion of the public celebrations. However, as the City has announced, "due to weather conditions, mainly much needed rain, portions of the construction will take a few more weeks than anticipated." No matter to us! We're still rocking the bridge March 2-4.
RAIN OR SHINE
Bridge-o-Rama will take place rain or shine. There, we said it! Of course our official weather policy is: It's not going to rain.
WEST DALLAS NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT
Due to the bridge celebrations, especially on March 3, there will be greater traffic and (during the Parade of Giants) temporary street closures that may disrupt residents and businesses usual flow of activity. Please plan for temporary disruptions. Here is an advisory for our West Dallas neighbors near the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. |
