Facing a steep climb in costs, the city of Austin secured a $4 million cash infusion from the federal government to bridge a budget gap and initiate construction for the $25 million project connecting Longhorn Shores, Canterbury Park, and an unnamed peninsula in Lady Bird Lake.
The innovative pedestrian bridge will showcase a wishbone shape, a 76-foot-wide plaza with various amenities, and public artwork by renowned artist Dixie Friend Gay, while also upgrading a 6-foot-wide tunnel under Pleasant Valley Road to a 30-foot-wide tunnel with improved features.
