Sundt Construction has started work on a new segment of San Pedro Creek in San Antonio, Texas. The transformation of the creek into a linear park began in 2017. The project for the San Antonio River Authority is spread over multiple phases.
The new segment of work includes continued excavation, installation of utilities and walls to create an envelope of the park and to complement the new federal courthouse in development.
Meanwhile, Sundt is continuing to build three components of the park scheduled to be complete in 2021: a performance plaza adjacent to Alameda Theater, additional greenspace and a five-piece mural behind the Spanish Governor’s Palace. In addition, the team is installing underground utilities, finishing creek walls and other infrastructure improvements.
The initial segment of phase one of the San Pedro Creek Culture Park was completed in time for the City of San Antonio’s 300th anniversary in May 2018. Sundt worked against an aggressive schedule to finish that phase, which included reconstructing a half-mile of the existing creek into a world-class urban linear park. This flood control project removed land and structures from the 100-year-old floodplain by widening and lowering the creek.
