Visible assurances of the Bridgeland community’s commitment to protecting nature, integrating natural resources into the everyday lives of its residents and enhancing walkability will become more evident this summer, as one of many planned pedestrian bridges is set for installation.
Bridges will be of varying sizes, with a typical span of 150-195 feet throughout the development, connecting neighborhoods, parks, trails and other green space. Construction materials will complement their existing surroundings, with a weathered steel frame and a tropical hardwood deck. Currently, three pedestrian bridges have been installed within the community, with another four expected to be in place by year’s end. The next installation, set for June, will be a bridge spanning Cypress Lake, providing access to Cypress Creek Nature Trail.
