After more than a year of construction, the new-and-improved Avenue N bridge over Backbone Creek in Marble Falls is open to through traffic. 

The city of Marble Falls released an update on the afternoon of Tuesday, Sept. 29, announcing that the long-awaited project had been completed and that drivers could begin using the bridge. 

“The Avenue N bridge is officially open to traffic,” reads the city’s Facebook post, made at about 1:43 p.m. on Tuesday. “We truly appreciate our community sticking with us throughout this project.”

The bridge had been shut down to through traffic since April 2025. It was originally just a low water crossing that was susceptible to flooding during heavy rain events, but the new bridge is above the 100-year flood marker, allowing safe travel even during flash floods on Backbone Creek. 

The Avenue N bridge is a critical piece of infrastructure in the area, providing a reliable route between Marble Falls and Meadowlakes. It is also a key connector for drivers traversing the north side of Lake Marble Falls, allowing easier access and travel between Johnson Park, Meadowlakes, Lakeside Park, and downtown Marble Falls.
