However, in late 2011 funding for the bridge was moved to come from within the Project Pegasus initiative, with construction contracts awarded in mid-2012.

The 1,200-foot-long (370 m) steel suspension arches on both sides of the bridge, which also house the pedestrian and bicycle paths, are separate from the concrete part.

The superstructure subcontractor to CRC Joint Venture, American Bridge, expected steel components to arrive on site in Dallas during the fall of 2014.

[10] Due to that, coupled with the need to add additional painting and lighting, the arched bridges opened to pedestrian and bicycle traffic in June of 2021.

The arched pedestrian bridge has resulted in a dispute between the City, TxDOT, and now the engineering firm responsible for the dangerous final product.

[12] In January 2021, the Dallas Morning News reported that the bridge could be open to pedestrians to walk and bike over the Trinity River before the end of the year.
