Project Length The Museum Reach Urban Segment, from Lexington Avenue north to Josephine Street, is approximately 1.33 miles long.River Depth The river is approximately three feet deep at the bulkheads, with the exception of the area immediately upstream from the lock & dam complex, which is approximately 12 feet deep; the depth shallows out to approximately three feet once again by Jones Ave.Design Themes The overall project design is broken down into three historical themes:1) The Hugman theme, from Lexington Ave. to just upstream of Ninth Street, reflects the use of limestone on the original River Walk.

2) The San Antonio Museum of Art theme, from Ninth Street to I-35, reflects the use of brick on the San Antonio Museum of Art.

3) The “Pearl” theme, from I-35 to Josephine Street, reflects the industrial aesthetic of Pearl through the use of sandblasted concrete.River Bottom The river bottom is made of large cobble (approximately 6” diameter rocks) to provide a more natural environment for aquatic life. Portions of the riverbed were excavated to create pools where fish can survive when the river is drained for maintenance and repairs.Landscaping The project features over 100 plant species, mostly native grasses, shrubs and trees, with a few select non-natives such as palm trees (a unifying feature from the original River Walk).Lock & Dam Complex The lock & dam complex consists of two lock chambers and a flood crest gate. • The two locks work independently, so barges can travel upstream or downstream together or separately at the same time.• Each lock holds approximately 40,000 gallons of water when completely filled.• Locks will be manned and operated seven days a week by SARA personnel.Grotto The Grotto is a cave-like structure created by San Antonio artist Carlos Cortés, who employs the faux bois art style. A companion piece to the Grotto is a palapa tree at street level.Special Events/Stage There is an island stage to be used as a barge landing and special event stage for the future Pearl Amphitheater (amphitheater is planned for 2011) located in the turning basin just downstream of the Grayson Street bridge.Hugman Dam The Hugman Dam, near Lexington Ave., is a historical feature named after River Walk architect Robert H.H. Hugman. A third of the dam has been removed to allow barge traffic through.Alamo Mills Dam The Alamo Mills Dam was discovered during construction near VFW Post 76 just downstream of Jones Ave. The dam was built in the 1870s and was partially dismantled in the early 1900s. Subsequently, the dam was silted over and lost to history until Urban Segment construction crews found it. The dam was used to send water through a mill raceway to the Alamo Mill at Eighth Street. The mill made flour and later ice.Se

Museum Reach PartnersThe $72.1 million Museum Reach Urban Segment was funded by the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, San Antonio Water System and through private donations collected by the San Antonio River Foundation. The San Antonio River Authority (SARA) was the project manager during design and construction and SARA provides operations and maintenance for the completed project. The San Antonio River Oversight Committee – a 22-person citizens’ committee established in 1998 – oversaw the design and implementation phases of the project. The design team included Ford, Powell & Carson Architects & Planners and HDR Engineering, Inc., and Zachry Construction Corporation was the contractor for the project.

San Antonio River AuthorityThe State of Texas has empowered the San Antonio River Authority to preserve, protect and manage the resources and environment of the San Antonio River and its tributaries. Our district spans Bexar, Goliad, Karnes and

Wilson counties, yet our concern for the quality and quantity of water extends our focus beyond these boundaries, as factors outside the district contribute to the health and well being of the river and our communities. Through the knowledge and skill of professional and technical staff, we continue to develop and sustain the expertise needed to fulfill our service mission. For more information, please visit www.sara-tx.org.

The San Antonio River FoundationThe San Antonio River Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming the San Antonio River by raising money through the private sector to bring artistic, recreational, environmental and educational enhancements to the

San Antonio River. The River Foundation is solely self-supporting and has raised over $17 million in private dollars for the San Antonio River Improvements Project, providing vision and funding for the engaging public art, enhanced landscaping, lighting and enlarged walkways along the Museum Reach. To learn more about our role in beautifying the river or to become involved, please visit www.sariverfoundation.org.
