James D. Pfluger Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge, Modern bridge for pedestrians and cyclists near Downtown Austin, United States
The double-curved structure spans 700 feet across Lady Bird Lake, connecting the north and south sides of the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail.
Following safety concerns about the narrow sidewalks of Lamar Boulevard Bridge, this dedicated pedestrian bridge opened in 2001 to accommodate growing foot traffic.
Named after architect James D. Pfluger, who designed the trails around Lady Bird Lake, the bridge serves as a tribute to his contributions to Austin's outdoor spaces.
The bridge includes benches, planters, and lampposts, while its curved concrete piers underneath provide access points for kayaks and paddleboards.
The structure features a double-helix ramp on its northern end that encircles a garden of native plants, creating an integrated pathway system.
