​​​AUSTIN – The city is developing a new pedestrian bridge over Lady Bird Lake at Longhorn Dam. ​

Design of the three-point bridge over Lady Bird Lake The $12.6 million project will replace the current passageway over the dam, as its narrow sidewalks and low handrail barely allow people to pass each other.

The "wishbone"-style bridge will connect three points of the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail.

The bridge's three legs will form a triangular plaza space over the water. This space will include benches, planters, and other amenities.

Construction of the bridge will ​​​​take five years. In the meantime, the city will widen the current sidewalk and install higher handrails and a taller curb.
