Construction of the Hemphill Street connector in Fort Worth, Texas, has recently been completed. McCarthy Building Companies served as construction manager at risk for the city of Fort Worth project, which included the construction of a roadway and pedestrian pathway tunnel underneath Interstate Highway 30, as well as a new rail bridge to support four existing Union Pacific Railroad lines. The project extends Hemphill Street beyond Vickery Boulevard, via a tunnel which improves traffic flow between downtown Fort Worth and the city’s medical district.
The Hemphill connector is intended to promote community cohesion and increase safety for pedestrians traveling between downtown and Near Southside. The project involved a four-lane major arterial street comprised of 12-foot lanes, retaining walls, streetlights and traffic signals. Pedestrians now have wide sidewalks and bike lanes for safe passage along this busy thoroughfare. The project also consisted of drainage improvements, irrigation and landscaping.
Total budget of the project was $53 million.
