TXDOT offers timeline on rebuild of collapsed 2900 Bridge in Kingsland
Plans take shape to replace the collapsed RR 2900 Bridge in Kingsland, as Texas Department of Transportation coordinate engineering meetings, draft designs and seek an emergency contract to potentially begin the process in December, officials say.
On Oct. 16, flood waters from Junction swept into the Llano River eventually slamming into the Highland Lakes at the mouth of Lake LBJ, washing away the structure.
“We're going to be working under an emergency timeline which allows us to speed these construction processes,” said TXDOT spokeswoman Diann Hodges. “Obviously this is a priority for TXDOT that we get this bridge rebuilt as quickly as possible.”
The bridge was not only a main thoroughfare of the community in Llano County but also served as a venue for large-scale celebrations such as the annual AquaBoom Fourth of July event.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) officials conducted a press conference in Austin Oct. 26, revealing the bridge could be completed as early as April 2019.
