The conservancy says the land bridge spans 150 feet in width at the top and expands to 165 feet at its base and is designed with ample space to accommodate both humans and animals, ensuring a secure crossing.
The land bridge trail is part of Phil Hardberger Park, which is a 330-acre natural area park with miles of trails, dog parks, a gathering hall as well as outdoor classrooms. It is found on the North Side of the city with entrances both on Northwest Military Highway and Blanco Road.
Construction of the bridge began in 2018 and was completed on December 11, 2020. Since its creation, some of the species caught using the bridge include a gray fox, a raccoon, a rodent, a Virginia opossum, a cotton-tailed rabbit, a coyote, a white-tailed deer and a bobcat.
