Construction of 'Land Bridge' in Hardberger Park to cause road closures

The bridge will look like an extension of the park, covered in vegetation as people and animals willl be able to walk 25 feet above the six-lane highway.

SAN ANTONIO — The construction of a new "land bridge" connecting the two sides of Phil Hardberger Park will cause some road closures starting Friday.

Crews will close part of Wurzbach Parkway to begin construction on steel support beams across the roadway for the land bridge.

The Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge was approved in 2016 to connect the two sides of Hardberger Park, which is divided by Wurzbach Parkway. The bridge will look like an extension of the park, covered in vegetation as people and  animals willl be able to walk 25 feet above the six-lane highway.

Road closures will take place on Wurzbach Parkway­­­— ­between Northwest Military Highway and Blanco Road— along both east and westbound traffic. 

 See below for full list of closures and a map.
