A new 250-foot pedestrian bridge across The Woodlands Waterway is set to open in late March, according to a Feb. 4 news release from Howard Hughes.

Two-minute impact

The new pedestrian bridge will be the fifth waterway crossing in The Woodlands, providing walkable connectors to the Town Center area. According to the release, the new bridge aims to improve mobility by:

• Reducing congestion at ground level walkways
• Providing direct access to Blue and Green parking lots
• Reduce post-event pedestrian congestion

The bridge construction is being funded fully by the Town Center Owners Association, and work is being done in conjunction with The Woodlands Township.
