Houston Street Viaduct
Houston Street Viaduct, Historic viaduct and tram bridge in Dallas, United States.
The Houston Street Viaduct extends across the Trinity River with reinforced concrete construction and multiple traffic lanes connecting downtown Dallas with Oak Cliff.
Following the devastating Trinity River Flood of 1908, Dallas County voters approved a $600,000 bond in 1909 to construct this essential transportation link.
The viaduct represents early twentieth-century engineering achievements in Texas, receiving recognition through its listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
The structure functions as a vital transportation corridor for vehicles and pedestrians, providing essential connectivity between different neighborhoods of Dallas.
Engineer Ira G. Hedrick designed this 1911 concrete structure specifically to withstand future flooding events, incorporating advanced engineering methods of the period.
