This project will provide a pedestrian and bicycle bridge on the East Side of the Lamar Boulevard Bridge over Town Lake. The current funding is sufficient for Phase One that includes the bridge over the Town Lake. The alternate consisting of and the bridge over Cesar Chavez Street up to the south side of the Railroad Bridge at 3rd street was not accepted due to funding shortfall. Hike and bike trail at both ends is re-routed to allow room for construction. A central path in the river is kept open for all river traffic.
Signs are in place and lights are installed for safety of lake and shore users.
A web site is set up to keep track of construction progress. This site is accessible through the City's web site. Status All drilling was completed for underground piers. The upper column bents are flaring out from water and are visible. Steel beam placement will be done in November starting at the south end.
