Houston Parks Board, in partnership with Commissioner Lesley Briones, is proud to announce that a major connectivity project along the Brays Bayou Greenway is now open to trail users.

This project includes two new undercrossings at US 59/IH 69 and Beltway 8, plus a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge - helping people safely and more easily walk, bike, and explore one of Houston’s most important trail systems.

As we approach National Trails Day, this milestone is a reminder of what strong partnerships can accomplish: more accessible, connected greenspace for everyone.
