The AT&SF Railroad Bridge, abandoned in the 1990s, stretched approximately 3,000 feet across the Dallas Floodway and featured wooden trestle, steel truss, and concrete construction. To improve public safety and enhance the Dallas Floodway system’s capacity to manage floodwaters, approximately 900 feet of wooden trestle ballast-deck bridge, 100 feet of wooden trestle open-deck bridge, and 660 feet of concrete ballast-deck bridge were removed. The railroad embankments and the Santa Fe Trestle Trail, which includes architectural elements of the truss clear span bridge, were preserved.

Final grades were adjusted to align with the surrounding terrain, with a focus on facilitating floodwater management and ensuring safe downstream passage, while retaining portions of the bridge as part of the trail. Key deliverables from Kenall included design drawings, specifications, engineering considerations and instructions for field personnel (ECIFP), a detailed design review (DDR), and cost estimates.
