Part of the Lady Bird Hike and Bike Trail will soon be temporarily closed.

Construction on the Pfluger Bridge extension will close the park between B.R. Reynolds Road and San Antonio Street Sept. 18 and 19.

Officials began posting the signs Wednesday.

The construction is part of a new north-to-south route for cyclists and pedestrians. Construction in September will connect Lady Bird Lake with Sixth Street and Lamar Market District over Cesar Chavez Street.

If you plan to be out and during those September days, you can plot out a route ahead of time.

The Parks and Recreation Department has posted maps of the closures. You can access them by clicking here.
