A New Bridge Over Country Club Creek

After nearly a decade without a crossing, a new bridge now spans Country Club Creek between Krieg Fields and Roy G. Guerrero Park! While it’s not officially open yet, seeing it gracefully stretch across the creek is an exciting sign of progress.

This long-awaited connection will provide a direct route from Montopolis Bridge to Pleasant Valley, making travel smoother for cyclists and pedestrians. We are looking forward to many crossings in the near future. This will connect Montopolis Bridge to Pleasant Valley in a smooth direct route, and the new wishbone bridge and tunnel will allow access to the LBL trails. It’s all starting to come together! We’ll be crossing this bridge and enjoying a more connected trail system once again! 🚲🌉✨
