Tarrant County College construction progress

Work proceeds on the new landmark Tarrant County College campus in downtown. Above, you can see a view into the large pit dug into the Trinity Bluffs for the downtown side of the campus. Parts of the structure are at last starting to rise from the pit. The college extends back into downtown from here, with a plaza alongside the courthouse, and will also stretch across the Trinity to the north bank, where the rest of the campus will be connected to downtown via a pedestrian bridge.

This image shows the work proceeding for the sunken plaza that will mark the beginning of the campus on the downtown side. The plaza will be directly adjacent to both the Tarrant County Courthouse, and the Tarrant County Family Law Center (the red building to the right).

This shot shows the work being done on Belknap for the campus. The black roadway on the right is a new bypass. Traffic will soon be routed through this bypass so that the construction crews can excavate under Belknap itself for the pedestrian pathway that will run from the plaza under the street to the main campus.

A completed rendering of the campus can be found below.
