Bridge Information
The Woodlands Waterway was originally built in 1972 as a small drainage system. At the time, there was a vision for it to be a pathway, but construction didn’t begin on this project until 1999. The first segment was officially opened in 2002. In 2004, the waterway was extended to the Woodlands Mall, in 2009 it was fully extended to Lake Woodlands, and in 2017 it was extended to Hughes Landing.
This bridge was constructed in 1999 as part of the initial Woodlands Waterway Project. The approach span allows the pathway to travel along the waterway, and the sidewalk on the bridge allows pedestrians to cross the waterway.
