Ecosystem restoration near downtown Dallas -
Construction began this month on the Upper Chain of Wetlands, revealing a glimpse of the Dallas skyline. This new wetlands complex, in combination with the completed Lower Chain of Wetlands just downstream, will help lower Trinity River flood elevations while creating new quality wildlife habitat in the city’s urban core. It is part of the Fort Worth District’s Dallas Floodway Extension Project, now 10 years into the construction phase. The view here is of Wetland Cell B, just downstream from the Martin Luther King Jr./Cedar Crest Bridge. It gives a preliminary look at what the ultimate viewshed of downtown might look like when construction is completed. Prominent in the skyline is the 72-story Bank of America Plaza, 901 Main Street, and just to its right is the 56-story Renaissance Tower, 1201 Elm Street – about three miles from where this photo was taken. The ecosystem restoration will create three wetland ponds surrounded by grasslands – all propagated with native Texas aquatic and upland plants.
