The Pennybacker Bridge in Austin, Texas bridges Lake Austin to connect north and south Loop 360 highway, also known as "Capital of Texas Highway". The road is widely considered one of the most scenic urban drives in central Texas, in large part due to the arched weathering steel bridge and rolling hills that flank the road. More commonly known as the "360 Bridge" it is named for Percy Pennybacker, who designed bridges for the Texas Highway Department and was a pioneer in the technology of welded structures.
