Austin cyclists guide kitten covered in cobwebs to safety away from bridge<\/a><\/h2>\n

Ariana Garcia | www.chron.com<\/h4>\n

The kitten was walking for at least a mile before the cyclists noticed her making the perilous journey.\n\"\"\/<\/p>\n

What started as a typical evening ride in Austin unexpectedly transformed into a harrowing animal rescue mission for a group of cyclists last week. Greg Stevens and his friends were riding near the historic Montopolis Bridge, which crosses over the Colorado River in East Austin, on Thursday when they noticed a kitten cautiously walking along the edge of the busy bridge.<\/p>\n

"Not ON the railing, but on a two-inch ledge about 100 feet from the ground," Stevens specified in a Facebook post on Friday. "Too narrow to turn around, but that’s good because she was almost at the end when we spotted her." Stevens said the kitten had been walking on the edge for at least a mile …<\/p>\n

New overpass at Bond Ranch Road being built in effort to eliminate traffic delays, Fort Worth officials say<\/a><\/h2>\n

Author: Matt Houston | www.wfaa.com<\/h4>\n

The federal government will pay for most of the bridge’s construction, which should begin in 2026. Almost 18,000 cars cross the northern Fort Worth tracks each day.\n\"\"\/<\/p>\n

FORT WORTH, Texas \u2014 The Federal Railroad Administration will Tuesday announce plans to build a bridge over railroad tracks on Bonds Ranch Road in northern Fort Worth.<\/p>\n

The overpass is expected to cure a rapidly-worsening problem, where traffic backs up on the two-lane road each time a train passes.<\/p>\n

On average, about 36 trains run on the tracks each day. Crossing gates at Bonds Ranch Road typically remain closed for four minutes each time a train passes, meaning the intersection is closed to vehicle traffic for more than two hours each day. …<\/p>\n

… The new overpass will feature four vehicle lanes, a bike lane and a pedestrian walkway. Construction is expected to end in 2028. …<\/p>\n
