This project funds repairs to address erosion at various locations along the Mission Reach Segment of the San Antonio River. Erosion repair projects aim to protect the hike and bike trails and reduce sediment loads within the river. Projects range from large erosion repairs that address key issues with external design and construction services to small area repairs completed by River Authority staff with some outside assistance. The river Authority coordinates with Bexar County under an interlocal agreement to fund construction of large erosion repairs. Completed repairs include an area downstream of Mitchell Street, the confluence with San Pedro Creek, an area downstream of the Espada Dam, and an area near the Lone Star Brewery.
