For those who use the Stratford Trail at Barton Springs Drive to get in and out of the Zilker Park area, please note starting today the trail will be closed for a few weeks.

Here are the details from the City of Austin:

Starting on Monday, February 28th the City of Austin will be closing the Stratford Trail for 3-4 weeks for renovation of the trailhead at Barton Springs Road.  The trail will be closed at both Stratford Drive and Barton Springs Road.

During construction there will be intermittent closures of the westbound Barton Springs bicycle lane.  This will allow for construction of the new trailhead adjacent to the roadway.

Please note that the Lance Armstrong Bikeway and Pfluger Bridge are open as alternative options to the Stratford Trail.
