The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Off-System Bridge Program replaces or rehabilitates structurally deficient and functionally obsolete bridges located on public roads and streets off the designated state system.  This item allows for widening the travel lanes, widening the sidewalks, updating the bridge rail, and improving the load capacity for the San Antonio Street Bridge over the Comal River.  This resolution is support of the project along with increasing the City’s equivalent match participation (EMP) which will be covered by the Alves Lane improvement project.
