New $4.6M pedestrian bridge planned for Austin—see where

Austin is planning a new multimillion-dollar pedestrian bridge, adding another connection for walkers and cyclists in a corridor city officials have long considered a transportation priority. 

Plans for the $4.6 million pedestrian bridge are in the pipeline, according to a recent filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). The bridge, planned along North Lamar Boulevard, would run adjacent to the existing Walnut Creek Bridge and include a shared-use path on both sides.
