Improvements Slated for Texarkana’s Bi-State Post Office/Courthouse
Work on the Federal Courthouse/Post Office Improvement project in Texarkana, TX and Texarkana, AR will begin later this month, project organizers said. Led by the Texarkana Arts & Historic District, the Courthouse Square Connections Project is a dual-city effort to increase walkability and enhance the area around the existing post office and courthouse, which has the distinction of being the only federal building in the country to straddle two states.
The improvement project’s goals include: 1) improving pedestrian safety by expanding existing sidewalks and including additional crosswalks, 2) improving vehicle safety by closing 5th Street entrance and 3) preserving history by reclaiming a portion of the original brick streets.
Additionally, the plan includes enhancements to the area around the existing post office/courthouse with a new tourist kiosk, public art, expanded green space and an area for food truck vendors. The project is scheduled to be completed by March 2021.
