About

The Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge connects both sides of Phil Hardberger Park, which was once divided by Wurzbach Parkway. Spanning 150 feet in width at the top and expanding to 165 feet at its base, this bridge is designed with ample space to accommodate both humans and animals, ensuring a secure crossing. The structure features a pedestrian trail placed to the side, while a small earth berm in the middle blocks the view from the trail to the wildlife corridor.
