North Main Street Detour begins for Panther Island Main Street Bridge Construction

August 17,2017

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will detour north and southbound N. Main Street to N. Commerce Street starting Saturday, Aug.19 at 3 a.m. The detour will be completed by Monday, Aug. 21 at 6 a.m., weather permitting. 

The detour is necessary for the construction of the new Panther Island N. Main Street bridge. Access to local businesses on N. Main Street will be maintained, and the detour will continue through the duration of the project. 

The Panther Island project, which includes three signature bridges positioned along the future realigned Trinity River, are a collaborative effort between the Trinity River Vision Authority (TRVA), TxDOT, City of Fort Worth, North Central Texas Council of Governments, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Tarrant County.

This project will include the construction of three unique V-Pier bridges at Henderson Street, North Main Street, and White Settlement Road. The bridges will have 10-foot sidewalks, bicycle facilities and enhanced landscaping. The new bridges will also serve as the gateways to Panther Island, a unique, urban waterfront community.
