Weigh in on Barton Springs Road bridge project

Though Thursday’s public meeting on planned improvements to the Barton Springs Road bridge was postponed due to the threat of severe weather, anyone with an opinion to share with the project team is still invited to say their piece via a virtual meeting on Speak Up Austin. Right now, the bridge is overdue for improvements and current plans include the prospect of widening it and adding new bicycle lanes and pedestrian paths, or replacement of it altogether. According to an estimated timeline provided by the city, the design phase will launch this fall, with construction expected to take place from fall of 2025 until spring of 2027.
