Larry Monroe Forever Bridge, Road bridge with mosaic art in Travis Heights, Austin, United States
The Larry Monroe Forever Bridge features two low walls decorated with mosaic tiles showcasing musical motifs, radio symbols, and ceramic portraits along East Side Drive.
After radio broadcaster Larry Monroe passed away in 2014, local artist Stefanie Distefano led the bridge transformation project with support from over 100 volunteers.
The bridge walls display musical scores, including a 22-foot section from Townes Van Zandt's song 'To Live Is to Fly', along with tiles depicting numerous Texas musicians.
Located at 1506 East Side Drive, the bridge connects Stacy Park with Little Stacy Park and allows visitors to examine the detailed mosaics while maintaining traffic awareness.
Every August, musicians and friends gather at the bridge to celebrate Larry Monroe's birthday, continuing his radio legacy of supporting local Texas music performers.
