About the Historic Montopolis Bridge
The Historic Montopolis Bridge in East Austin, Texas, is a landmark structure with a rich history dating back to 1938. Originally built as a crossing for cars and trucks over the Colorado River, the bridge now serves as a pedestrian and cyclist pathway, offering stunning views of the downtown skyline. The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority is considering a project to enhance the bridge with $7 million in amenities and visual improvements, including seating, lighting, shade structures, interpretive signs, and more.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Montopolis Bridge is one of only 10 Parker truss bridges designed by the Texas Highway Department. The CTRMA board members believe that by investing in these upgrades, the bridge could become an iconic landmark similar to the Pennybacker Bridge in West Austin. The project aims to not only preserve the historical significance of the bridge but also to create a space for community events and gatherings.
With support from the community and local government, the Montopolis Bridge project has the potential to transform the area into a vibrant and culturally significant destination. The collaboration between the CTRMA and TxDOT showcases a commitment to preserving and enhancing the infrastructure that defines the unique character of Austin, Texas.

Reviews of Historic Montopolis Bridge
"I used to drive across the bridge to go to work many years ago and always wondered what it would be like to walk on it and take pictures on the bridge. After being decommissioned for the new toll road, that dream is now a reality. The bike path and walking path are very well constructed and at sunset, the pictures are phenomenal. This is a fantastic place to exercise, take pictures or just hang out! Just, make sure to wear a hat and bring water if it’s really hot outside!"
"Great place to bike and get fantastic views of the city at night Went to a party there too"
"Used to drive on that bridge all the time until it turned into a landmark, but it’s not that big of an issue because now it looks good with the nature scenery."
"Beautiful view. Trail starts at the kids park in Guerrero Park"
