The Congress Avenue Bridge, also known as the South Congress Bridge, is a historic landmark in Austin, Texas. Built in 1910, the bridge is famous for being home to the largest urban bat colony in ... North America. Visitors flock to the bridge at dusk to witness the spectacular sight of over 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats emerging from under the bridge in search of food. Popular activities include bat watching, picnicking in nearby parks, and enjoying the stunning views of downtown Austin. The best time to visit is during the summer months when the bat population is at its peak. The Congress Avenue Bridge is not only a natural wonder but also a symbol of Austin's commitment to preserving its unique wildlife and embracing its vibrant cultural scene. Read more ▼
