T C Jester Bridge over Cypress Creek


The work is nearly completed, only a few minor details left prior to next weeks opening of the bridge which will connect FM 1960 with Cypresswood via T C Jester.


There is a section of guard railing which separates the pedestrian walkway from vehicular traffic that should be completed tomorrow and I noticed the traffic lights were being worked on at the Cypresswood intersection.

This falls under the category of “Curse and Blessing” as it will make it possible for us to get to destinations north quite easily while at the same time it will increase traffic through the middle of our neighborhood considerably. I’ll lobby the traffic department for installation of a four way stop, either at Ivy Falls or at Autumnbrook by the park, to slow traffic coming south; before someone gets seriously injured or killed.

Lucy and I enjoy evening walks, this bridge having made for a wonderful chance to observe Cypress Creek which runs along the back of our sub-division. I wish they’d put sidewalks along both sides of the street leading up to the bridge since they already have the pedestrian sections built in; maybe that’s a project scheduled “down the road”.
