In addition to the new trail work on Buffalo Bayou, the City of Houston and the Texas Department of Transportation are installing a new pedestrian bridge at Shepherd Drive between Allen Parkway and Memorial Drive. The new bridge will be attached to the piers that support the existing high Shepherd Bridge providing greater-and much safer access to runners, walkers, bicyclists.
Installation on the prefabricated bridge began in September and is expected to be complete before Spring 2013.
If you are accessing Buffalo Bayou Park in this area, please be aware of construction zones and read carefully the construction signage.
