Description
The Pennybacker Bridge is found in Austin Texas going over Lake Austin,which is actually a dammed portion of the Colorado River. More commonly known as the "360 Bridge," the contract for the bridge was signed in late 1979 and major structural steelwork was finished by July 1982.The steel bridge has a uniform weathered rust finish allowing the bridge to blend in with the surrounding hills and lake. This image was taken from an overlook site one can hike up to.
"The bridge is constructed such that no part of the structure touches the water 100 feet (30 m) below. The bridge is 1,150 feet (351 m) long with a 600-foot (183 m) central arched span. This design keeps Lake Austin free from support columns because the recreational lake (really a dammed stretch of the Colorado River) is popular with boaters and waterskiers. The untied arch suspension span is suspended by 72 steel cables. At the time of its construction, it was only the second bridge of its design in the world." Wikipedia

Nice capture of this unique bridge. I once had a dream I climbed to the top of this bridge then slid down the side. Glad it was just a dream! LOL
