The three-pronged 'wishbone' bridge will connect the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail at crucial points, featuring a 76-foot-wide plaza in the middle with various amenities for trail users.
The project will cause 18 months of detours and closures around Lady Bird Lake, including the closing of a 6-foot-wide pedestrian tunnel under Pleasant Valley Road, to be replaced by a wider tunnel with improved features.
Originally valued at $13 million, the budget for the wishbone bridge expanded due to added enhancements like sidewalk improvements, and the majority of the funding is sourced from a 2020 voter-approved property tax increase for city transportation upgrades.
