Fort Brown Connection
The Fort Brown Connection, awarded by a TxDOT Transportation Enhancement grant, is currently in the design phase. This 2.75 miles of bicycle and pedestrian facilities will connect the existing Historic Battlefield Trail to a National Historic Landmark, the Fort Brown Battlefield Site. The project will create 5 foot bicycle lanes and replace non-ADA compliant sidewalks with ADA compliant sidewalks and curb ramps. Nearby destinations include: Linear Park, Federal Courthouse, Cameron County Courthouse, the Brownsville Herald, Pacheco Building, Dancy Building, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Market Square, La Plaza at Brownsville Terminal, Texas Southmost College, the International Bridge, and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley - among many others.
