Tobin Land Bridge at Phil Hardberger Park in the north central side of the city.Construction barriers will be removed from the bridge over Wurzbach Parkway at 1 p.m. this Friday, according to a news release.The bridge will be covered with native trees and plants and connects the previously divided 330-acre park.The project was funded through private donations and the voter-approved City of San Antonio 2017-2022 Bond Program.“For many years, the Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge was only a dream. Thanks to overwhelming community support of the 2017 Bond, the generosity of donors from across the city and the hard work and dedication of so many, the vision is now a reality,” said Phil Hardberger, a former San Antonio Mayor and judge.“I am honored to invite San Antonians to come experience the Land Bridge and hope it will offer them an escape from the stresses of this year — a place where they may spend time with family and friends and connect with the natural world.”Hardberger said the bridge allows for people and animals to safely cross over the busy parkway and is the largest wildlife crossing constructed to date in the United States. He also said it will make it easier for animals to reach their watering holes in the park.According to National Geographic, in addition to reconnecting fractured habitats, wildlife crossings around the world have been shown to significantly reduce wildlife-vehicle crashes.“We join the Phil Hardberger Park Conservancy in celebrating the opening of the Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge. I look forward to watching the landscape grow and mature with native trees and plants and observing wildlife through viewing blinds designed by local artists. The bridge is an amazing achievement,” said Mayor Ron Nirenberg.The park hours are sunrise to sunset. City officials released some tips for visitors this weekend.The park also features a gathering hall, outdoor classrooms, dog parks, play areas and miles of trails. The park showcases best practices in development through stormwater catchment, solar energy, biophilic design, and native habitat.The Phil Hardberger Park Conservancy is a nonprofit led by Hardberger and has a vision of creating and protecting the best place in the heart of San Antonio where people can experience the natural world.For more information about the bridge and park, visit.
