‘An Opportunity to Right the Wrong': Southern Gateway Deck Park Plan Released

More than 50 years ago, the construction of Interstate 35E split and destroyed neighborhoods in Oak Cliff and South Dallas.

Now, residents may soon see part of the city of Dallas' and the Texas Department of Transportation's efforts to "right the wrong" with a 5.5-acre deck park in Oak Cliff that will be constructed over a section of I-35E and connect South Dallas neighborhoods.

Dallas released its master plans Tuesday for the Southern Gateway deck park, part of the Southern Gateway Project.
