Identified as a top priority during the development of the District’s Parks Master Plan, this portion of trail was the first phase of over two miles of planned trails to provide connectivity and recreation for District residents.
The purpose of this project was to convert the existing at-grade crossing of Brazoria County Road 56 (CR 56) and State Highway 288 (SH 288) into a diamond interchange that includes a new overpass bridge and providing access to the newly developed Meridiana Development. Coordination with TXDOT, area landowners, utility companies, and Brazoria County was integral in obtaining approval and acceptance of the project. The main design challenge for this project was to accommodate double intersections on the west side of SH 288 to tie into existing access roads with two-way traffic and a new southbound on-ramp within a close proximity. EHRA coordinated with TxDOT throughout the project from preliminary concepts for the intersection and bridge through final design and construction. Each component of this project was designed in accordance with TxDOT standards and criteria.
EHRA was selected by the client to provide engineering design and to serve as District Engineer for the 2,400 acre Towne Lake Development. Our survey department retraced the overall boundary and performed a topographic survey of the site.

Engineering design and construction phase services of water, sewer, drainage and paving for four subdivision sections and off-site channel (123 acres out of a 400 acre subdivision). There was 60-feet of elevation difference on this site and wooded lots were left in their natural state which required the installation of retaining walls.
As projects grow more complex, timelines are tighter and expectations are elevated to engineer to a higher level of detail. Clients are looking for teams who can anticipate challenges, adapt quickly and deliver smarter solutions without compromising quality. With advancements all around us, we must advance too.
That’s where “keeping it fresh” comes in—one of EHRA Engineering’s leading core values.
For engineers, staying fresh means staying relevant. It means not only keeping up with new technologies, but also actively seeking out ways to apply them with purpose. Whether it’s advanced modeling software, real-time data integration, drone-based surveying, AI-assisted design checks or better integration with Geospatial Information System (GIS). These tools are reshaping the way we plan and design.
But progress is not automatic. It requires intention. Technology is just a tool. And like any tool, it’s only effective if we understand it and are willing to adapt our methods to take full advantage of what is possible. This means rethinking workflows, re-skilling teams and even challenging long-standing processes. As engineers, we must challenge ourselves to:
The bottom line: Innovation isn’t coming—it’s already here. The question is whether we’re prepared to meet it, not just as participants, but as leaders shaping the future of our industry. That means embracing new tools, challenging old assumptions, and staying curious even when the pace of change feels overwhelming. We have the opportunity—and the responsibility—to drive progress, not just respond to it. Let’s keep our skills sharp, our minds open, and our work firmly positioned at the leading edge.
