What to expect
The James D. Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge spanning Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin, Texas. The bridge features a unique double-hourglass shape and provides a safe and accessible route for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the lake. The bridge is 812 feet long and 23 to 42 feet wide, with a helix ramp and curved connectors. It offers stunning views of the lake and the city skyline, as well as benches, planters, and lampposts. The bridge is named after James D. Pfluger, a local architect who designed parts of the city's hike and bike trail system. It's a great place for families to enjoy a walk or bike ride together, taking in the beautiful views and enjoying the outdoors
