Join The Trail Conservancy and the City of Austin on Saturday\, February 7th\, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for a celebration and party on the plaza and be one of the first to enjoy the new pedestrian bridge\, underpass\, and benches. \n \n Add to Calendar\n \n \n RSVP Today\n \nGetting There\nThere are three entrances to the Wishbone Bridge: \n\nSouth of Longhorn Dam (entrance to the Unity Underpass)\nNorth of Longhorn Dam at the end of Canterbury St. \nNorth of the Longhorn Dam at the end of the old Holly peninsula\n\n\n\n \n Parking is available at Krieg Field (click for exact location)\n \n \n\n \n \nAbout the Project\nIn 2018\, the City of Austin’s Transportation and Public Works Department partnered with the Parks and Recreation Department and Capital Delivery Services to develop a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge over Lady Bird Lake near the Longhorn Dam. Through community engagement\, a “wishbone” shaped bridge was chosen to connect the Ann and Roy Butler Trail at Longhorn Shores\, Canterbury\, and the Holly Peninsula in Town Lake Metropolitan Park. This project began construction in early July 2024\, and the completed bridge provides an alternate option to the sidewalk on Pleasant Valley Road and fills a gap on the Butler Trail. On opening day\, the bridge will also feature 14 stunning new Maraca Benches. Designed by Austin-based Lemmo Architecture and Design and fabricated by Harvest Lumber Co.\, these benches honor the neighborhood’s Hispanic roots\, history\, and culture.  \nThe Unity Underpass\, which connects Longhorn Shores to the Roy G. Guerrero Trail and Krieg Fields\, includes Austin Art in Public Places’ latest commission\, Absolute Equality: Unity Tunnel by Reginald Adams. Over 200 local residents contributed to the new 130’ long public artwork featuring a mosaic installation of glass and porcelain tile\, ceramic\, limestone\, and acrylic paint.
