About

The Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge, located in Austin, Texas, is well-known for its large population of Mexican free-tailed bats. Each evening from March to November, visitors gather to witness the spectacular sight of around 1.5 million bats emerging from beneath the bridge to forage for insects. Named in honor of former Texas Governor Ann W. Richards, the bridge spans Lady Bird Lake and connects downtown Austin with South Congress Avenue.
