How far will the toll road extend into the park?
The toll road has been moved farther into the park because the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were worried that the toll road would weaken the levees. So the Corps forced the City and the NTTA to move the toll road completely off the Downtown levee and move it farther into the park. Take a look at some of Halff Associates’ engineering plans from February 2007. Measuring from the top of the levee to the end of the “mini-levee” on the other side of the toll road, these drawings show the toll road jutting 430′ to 500′ into the park.
