The West 7th Street Bridge is a gateway between downtown Fort Worth and its cultural district. An obsolete bridge is being replaced by the world’s first pre-cast network arch bridge, which will accommodate multimodal access. TxDOT’s futuristic design is constructed with 12 precast arches, which were completed off site.

Seemingly endless vistas of bluebonnets and Indian paintbrushes enhance a springtime drive along Texas 71, a state highway in the Hill Country of Central Texas. Near Spicewood, the right-of-way and surrounding fields offer abundant photo opportunities or just a color-filled journey for the lucky traveler.
