WEST AUSTIN
Open house Thursday
on Redbud Trail Bridge
The city of Austin has been evaluating options for replacing the Redbud Trail bridge over Lady Bird Lake since 2016. The next public open house for the project will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the O’Henry Middle School Cafeteria, 2610 W. 10th St.
This project is the result of increasing strains on the bridge due to flooding, population growth, the number of vehicles on the road and heightened use. The project is preparing to enter its design phase. For those unable to attend the open house, all open house materials will be available on the project website starting Thursday, 30, including an online comment form.
Information presented, as well as public comments gathered, at the first open house can be found at AustinTexas.gov/RedBudTrailBridge.
