Today, I noticed a fenced off area next to Fouts and the freeway. There also seems to be some heavey equipment at the site. Could this be the start of the bridge construction?

Supposed to be ready for TSU. Could be cutting it close. Supposed to look very sharp and VERY visible from 35E.

Wonder what kind of signage is planned for it? I'm guessing that TXDOT would frown on any sort of video screen, since I don't recall ever seeing anything like that before in Texas.

"Very visible from 35E."
I love that one, Harry.
Now that we've seen the architectural rendering, what will the real PB actually look like?

What! No zip line?
A zip line would be a great money maker for the University.

I drove by Saturday night and they have the metal bridge pieces off to the side. It looks like they'll be lifted onto the concrete pillars fairly soon. It was dark so I couldn't snap a photo.

Went by this last weekend and they had some of the metal spans sitting by and seemingly being prepared for installation. I do, however, wonder if it will be ready for the first home game? It's not that the folks working on it could not have it completed in time, but rather will all the various spans and parts be ready in time for installation? If not in time for the first game, it will indeed be up and ready during this season. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all parties can get this done in time for that first kick-off. GREAT location for the bridge!
