***About Congress Avenue Bridge

***: The Congress Avenue Bridge spans Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin and is renowned for housing one of the world's largest urban bat colonies. Every evening around sunset, from March to October, over 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats emerge from under the bridge in a breathtaking display that attracts tourists and nature enthusiasts. This natural phenomenon not only contributes to controlling the insect population in the area but also boosts local tourism significantly. The bridge itself, an iconic structure, plays a vital role in connecting various parts of the city while offering pedestrians and cyclists a scenic route across the lake.
