San Antonio Riverwalk Museum Reach Extension
San Antonio, TX, United States
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2009
The Museum Reach extension of the renowned San Antonio River Walk turned a long-neglected and oft-abused urban waterway into a showpiece linear park which will serve as the impetus for redevelopment of deteriorated urban fabric. A master development plan for an adjacent district (called River North) was triggered by the project; the plan is currently being implemented by the city.
Nearly three miles of walkways, channelized river, art installations, landscaping, and associated work connect to the northern terminus of San Antonio’s famed River Walk. Twin locks lift river barges and taxis nine feet to the height of the upper portion of the reach, which allows them to carry passengers to the San Antonio Museum of Art, Pearl Brewery (a large urban mixed-use development), and numerous other destinations on and near the river. Historical elements were incorporated into the project, including a steel bridge formerly in use at the Lone Star Brewery, the check dam which marked the northern end of the historic River Walk, and a 1880s stone mill dam uncovered during construction.
