City and Partners Celebrate Pleasant Valley Bridge as Gateway into Garland
The bridge's 92-foot towers and 8-foot City logo make Pleasant Valley Road a signature entry point. The project is the basis of a trails connection to natural features in Garland and several nearby cities.
The four-lane concrete upgrade, including a 1,555-foot bridge, is the result of the City's $24.8 million partnership with the North Central Texas Council of Governments and Dallas County. Learn more.
