The Trinity River

What The Trinity River does

The Trinity River Corridor Project is a municipal infrastructure and environmental management initiative operated by the City of Dallas, focused on urban flood risk management, transportation improvements, and public recreation along the Trinity River corridor in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Its core offerings are organized around three pillars: flood control systems (the federally authorized Dallas Floodway, including levee systems and pump stations such as Delta, Charlie, and Nobles Branch); transportation infrastructure (the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, Margaret McDermott Bridge/I-30, Sylvan Avenue Bridge, Jefferson Bridge, and the S.M. Wright and Beckley Commerce Intersection improvements); and recreation areas (Trinity Fields, Trinity Lakes, the Great Trinity Forest, and Big Spring, a City of Dallas historic landmark). Underlying technology centers on heavy civil works — replacement of 700-horsepower legacy pumps with two high-flow pumps capable of moving 40,000 gallons per minute at a 46.4-foot total dynamic head — rather than software or digital platforms.

The project is delivered through a partnership between the City of Dallas (owner and operator, including Dallas Water Utilities) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fort Worth District, with capital sourced primarily from the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 plus cost-sharing arrangements with the City. Implementation is executed via USACE construction contracts to private joint ventures, most recently a $26,381,300 award to Ahtna-Great Lakes E&I JV on April 8, 2025 for Delta Pump Station rehabilitation. Complementary programming includes the annual Branch Out Dallas tree giveaway (2,500+ trees distributed across seven locations in November 2024) and the Goat Vegetation Management Pilot. The entity recorded as 5 employees, has no commercial revenue, no public pricing, and no API or software product surface; its "customers" are the residents of Dallas and the broader region who benefit from reduced flood risk, expanded recreation, and improved transportation. Federal recognitions include FEMA Community Rating System Class 3 status (October 2024) and active USACE capital deployment for 100-year levee fixes and interior drainage modernization.

Core offering

The Trinity River Corridor Project delivers federally authorized urban flood risk management for the Dallas metropolitan area through the Dallas Floodway, levee systems, and pump stations, combined with transportation infrastructure (signature bridges and roadway improvements) and public recreation amenities (Trinity Fields, Trinity Lakes, Great Trinity Forest, Big Spring). It is a municipal public works and environmental stewardship initiative operated by the City of Dallas in cost-shared partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Product overview

The Trinity River Corridor Project is a multi-faceted municipal infrastructure initiative by the City of Dallas, not a unified commercial product but rather a portfolio of interconnected public works, environmental, and recreation programs. The core offerings include flood control systems (levee systems, pump stations, Dallas Floodway), transportation infrastructure (bridges and roadways), and recreation areas (trails, parks, natural areas). Key projects include the Delta Pump Station replacement with 40,000 GPM high-flow pumps, the Charlie Pump Station under construction, and various bridge projects. The program also encompasses environmental initiatives like the Branch Out Dallas tree giveaway and the Great Trinity Forest Management Plan.

Design efforts will begin within 60 days of contract award with construction expected to begin in early 2026.
• City of DallascoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe City of Dallas is the primary project owner and operator of the Trinity River Corridor Project. The Dallas Floodway is non-federally operated and maintained by the City. The project is cost-shared with the City of Dallas through funding from the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018.

Direct peers

• St. Louis Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD): Regional sewer and stormwater authority for the St. Louis area, operating a massive combined sewer overflow and flood management system. Comparable in scale of urban flood infrastructure and federal consent decree-driven capital programs.
• Metro Nashville Water Services: Municipal utility providing water, sewer, and stormwater services for Nashville/Davidson County. Comparable as a city-operated combined water/sewer/stormwater authority with floodplain management responsibility and CRS participation.
• Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department: Municipal department providing water, wastewater, and stormwater services for Miami-Dade County — including floodplain management and CRS participation. Comparable as a coastal urban flood/water authority with federal resilience funding exposure.
• Harris County Flood Control District: Special-purpose district managing flood control infrastructure (channels, bayous, detention basins) for the Houston metropolitan area. Directly comparable as a large urban flood risk management authority operating levees, pump stations, and stormwater systems in a major Texas metro.
• Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (SAFCA): Joint powers authority responsible for Sacramento region's flood control — levees, weirs, bypass channels — funded via federal/state/local partnerships. Comparable model of urban flood risk management with multi-jurisdictional funding and USACE partnership.
• Albuquerque Metropolitan Arroyo Flood Control Authority (AMAFCA): Special-purpose flood control authority for the Albuquerque metro, operating arroyo channels, dams, and pump stations funded through property taxes and federal partnerships. Comparable regional flood authority with levee/drainage infrastructure mandate.
• New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board: Municipal agency responsible for water, sewer, and — critically — drainage pump stations that protect New Orleans from flooding. Most direct comparable in terms of urban flood risk management via large pump station networks and federal partnership.

Regional players

• Tarrant Regional Water District: Water supply and flood management authority for the Fort Worth region (adjacent to Dallas). Comparable as a Texas-based regional authority combining water supply with flood control infrastructure, but focused on supply rather than urban stormwater.

Others

• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Fort Worth District): Federal partner that designs and contracts the Dallas Floodway capital projects (Delta Pump Station, Charlie Pump Station). Not a direct competitor but the principal funding/oversight counterparty whose budget cycles and project priorities drive the corridor's capital pipeline.

Broad incumbents

• Los Angeles County Public Works - Water Resources Division: Large municipal agency responsible for flood control, water supply, and infrastructure across LA County, operating dams, spreading grounds, and channels. Comparable scope of urban flood infrastructure within a major U.S. metro, though broader portfolio.
