The new bridge has enhanced pedestrian and bicyclist safety; made the area ADA-accessible; increase the width of the Trail to 14 feet; greatly improved the area's visual appeal; provided connectivity with the Waller Creek area; created a beautiful site from which to view the Congress Avenue bats; and lowered the City of Austin's maintenance costs.
