The Jackson Hike & Bike Phase II project is set to provide connectivity between the City of McAllen and City of Edinburg’s hiking and biking network of trails, linking both communities.
This ambitious initiative has created a unified pathway between Bicentennial Boulevard and 2nd Street trails, extending to the Jackson Road Hike & Bike trail junction at Jackson Road and Wisconsin Road. The City of McAllen and Edinburg leaders along with TXDOT and RGVMPO officials cut the ribbon on the 1.5 mile, 10-foot-wide Hike & Bike Trail — a brand-new addition to both communities that promises to enhance connectivity and recreational experiences for residents and visitors alike.
With a total project cost of $2,683,776.55, funding for this initiative is a collaborative effort from the City of McAllen and City of Edinburg, and active participation from RGVMPO. Leading the engineering aspects was GDJ Engineering, while the construction contractor for the project was GO Underground, LLC. The construction had an approximate 15-month timeline, kicking off in February
