Sounds like a solid and much needed plan. 400 houses had over the floor flooding during the 1998 flood, which required remodeling, especially the houses in De Soto. Its because the bridges were poorly designed and dramatically restrict the flow of water under them.

In keeping with the neighborhood, let's make an Art Deco bridge and not just an ugly naked slab.

Bad design. Those support pillars in the creek bed will snag floating branches which will form a dam. Presto--another potential flood maker.
Why spend million$ to repeat the original mistake? The technology to build a clear span has existed for centuries. Why not use it here?
