Lake Mina Bridge in Bastrop, TX

The Lake Mina Bridge renovation at Bastrop State Park is complete.

The total scope covered 330 square feet of work, with an estimated cost of $247,527. This specific project passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in August 2026, confirming that the construction phase is finished.

Texas Parks & Wildlife Department served as the owner of record for this alteration work. The design firm of record was Huitt Zollars, a firm that has also been involved in other TDLR-registered projects across the state, including facilities in Houston and Aledo.
