CBS Dallas/Fort Worth January 19, 2022 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has released a work plan that includes $403 million for the Trinity River Vision/Central City flood control project. U.S. Rep. Kay Granger says the money should allow final design and construction of the 1.5 mile bypass channel, beneath the now-completed bridges. The project to reroute the river was dependent on funding from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. "As the leaders in flood control, I thank the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for understanding that responsibility and addressing that need for Fort Worth. Our community will be safer thanks to their hard work and tireless commitment," Granger said in a statement.
