Eagle Pass Hike and Bike Trail

The Trails, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation as the Eagle Pass Hike and Bike Trail, is a new construction project located at 2800 East Main Street in Eagle Pass, Texas. This 60,984 sq ft linear recreation project was completed by the City of Eagle Pass, which owns the site and served as the developer of record. The project utilized a 1.4-acre easement provided by the Maverick Water Control District No. 1 to create a dedicated trail system for the community.

The scope of work included the development of the trail itself, along with trail lighting, landscaping, site furnishings, and additional lighting infrastructure. AG3 was the design firm of record, and Mark E Morley served as the registered accessibility specialist. The estimated cost for this new construction was $2,000,000, resulting in a cost of $33 per square foot. This figure is below the county median of $170 per square foot for similar new construction filings in Maverick County, although the total project cost is above the county median of $975,000.

The project registered with TDLR in September 2024, with construction beginning in December 2024. The scheduled build window was 179 days, which is shorter than the county median of 256 days for comparable projects. The filing indicated a completion date of May 2025. TDLR closed the project file in May 2025, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction.

The City of Eagle Pass has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $42,360,200, including the Eagle Pass Recycling Center and the City of Eagle Pass Recreation Gym. This project fits within a broader pattern of municipal development in the area, which also includes nearby filings for the Del Rio Highway Center II and the AEP Service Center. The Trails project represents a significant investment in public recreation infrastructure for Maverick County, utilizing public funds and public land.
