About Austin 360 Bridge
Austin's Pennybacker Bridge, commonly called Austin 360 Bridge, is truly an extraordinary site. Designed by David McDonald it was the only bridge of its kind in the United States when it opened on December 3rd, 1982.  It was the last link to completing Austin's first highway loop circling the city, which utilizes US 183, Hwy 71, Capital of Texas Highway, and Loop 360.

It's unique features include its Korean made steel designed to rust to a the amber color seen above and its unique structure which spans Lake Austin without any parts touching the water.

 

Pennybacker Bridge is located on Loop 360, south of FM 2222.

Alternatively, you can take a boat from Lake Austin west until you're beneath the bridge.
