"Mill Creek/Peaks Branch/State Thomas Drainage Relief Tunnel"
Todd Woodson, P.E.
Project Manager
Halff Associates, Inc.
Drainage relief for the Mill Creek / Peaks Branch / State Thomas areas will be accomplished through the design and construction of a single 30-foot diameter, 27,000-foot long drainage relief tunnel. The deep tunnel will provide drainage relief to these frequently flooded areas of Dallas. The tunnel will be mined in the Austin Chalk formation between 70 and 150 feet below the surface and will outfall to White Rock Creek.
