en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Silver Line project in Richardson, Texas, USA, will complete the installation of two steel arches for the bridge spanning US 75 this summer. Transportation Project Manager Daniel Herrig provided an update on the bridge project's progress at the City Council meeting on May 11.

Six concrete columns have been constructed on both sides of the bridge project to support the arch structures. The south arch is scheduled for installation from June 4 to 7, and the north arch from July 16 to 19, both taking place at night. During each four-night installation period, US 75 and some frontage roads will be closed at night, and Silver Line operations over US 75 will also be suspended. Shuttle buses will be deployed between stations to maintain public transit service. Herrig stated that upon completion, blue and white lighting on the arches and columns will enhance nighttime visibility, creating a "visual gateway" into Richardson.

The Silver Line railway commenced operations in October 2025, and this bridge project includes the bridge crossing US 75.

Herrig also reported on the construction progress of the Cotton Belt Trail. The trail spans 51 miles in total, with a planned 2.8-mile segment through Richardson currently under construction. The Richardson segment began construction in May 2025, with initial focus on the University of Texas at Dallas area, the Spring Creek Bridge, and the CityLine area. The trail plan includes three bridges: the Spring Creek Bridge near Alma Road is complete; the Custer Bridge and a second Spring Creek Bridge on the east side of US 75 are currently under construction. Most sections of the trail are expected to be completed early next year, with the Custer Bridge finished by the end of 2027.

Dallas Area Rapid Transit also plans to build a bridge over Synergy Park Boulevard and Renner Road in the next phase of trail construction, providing uninterrupted passage for trail users.
