Regional Trail Funding Eden Road and New York Avenue Realignment
Mayor Jeff Williams, along with
the mayors of Fort Worth, Grand
Prairie, Irving, and Dallas, were
recognized by the Regional
Transportation Council in April
for their commitment to fund a
regional bike trail. The Public Works
and Transportation
Department is proud to
announce the completion
of major construction
for the realignment of
New York Avenue and
Eden Road to connect
with TxDOT’s new SH
360 Tollway in southeast
Arlington.
The 53-mile Fort Worth to Dallas
Regional Veloweb Trail will
connect downtown Fort Worth
to downtown Dallas, winding
through Arlington, Grand Prairie
and Irving along the way.
The trail is anticipated to be
complete by 2023 and could
attract eco-tourism opportunities
and recreational sporting events.
Construction started in
January 2018 on the $5.7 million bond project, which was approved by
Arlington voters in 2014. The realignment was a necessary step in the City’s
long-range thoroughfare development plans to extend Eden Road so that
it one day stretches from US 287 in southwest Arlington to SH 360 on the
southeastern side of town.
As part of the project, New York Avenue no longer continues beneath the
new SH 360 Tollway, which opened in May 2018. New York Avenue was
realigned so it curves south to a new roundabout. From the roundabout,
drivers are able to take the newly built portion of Eden Road to access
the southbound SH 360 frontage road, continue underneath SH 360 to
access the northbound frontage road, or continue to go east on what
