Trail Extension to Addicks Dam and West to Highway 6 (Jan 2013 construction pic update)

NEW COMMUTING OPTION FOR ENERGY CORRIDOR 

BICYCLE RIDERS IN THE WORKS

Construction work continues on the extension of the Terry Hershey Trail system to connect to the Addicks Dam Road, or rather to a new hike and bike trail being built at the base of the Southern (outside) slope of the dam that will continue on westward to Highway 6, and will provide a new route for bike commuters to  and from corporate campuses and energy corridor office buildings.

Here are a few pics taken this month (January 2013) illustrating the status of ongoing earth-moving and construction activity at various points between Terry Hershey Park / Memorial Loop Trail and Addicks Dam, including a panoramic view of the scene at the flow control gate where the reservoir empties into Langham Creek.
