Construction started this week on the mile-long missing link in the Violet Crown Trail.
The new section of the Violet Crown Trail will be built through the wooded area on the right. It starts at the Home Depot in Sunset Valley and then passes under MoPac just north of William Cannon Drive., a 30-mile path planned to run from Barton Springs Pool in Zilker Park through the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and eventually south into Hays County.
A separate section will continue on the east side of MoPac, south of Ben Garza Lane, and end at Sabio Drive.The new section of Violet Crown Trail will start at Home Depot Boulevard, go under MoPac and connect with a sidewalk along the MoPac frontage road. The 1-mile section of trail will cost $2.9 million to build. About 43% of that is coming from a federal grant distributed by the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization. The rest of the money is from voter-approved bonds passed in 2012 and 2016.The new trail section will pass through this wooded area on the east side of MoPac between Home Depot Boulevard and William Cannon Drive., a nonprofit organization that's been working on the project since it was dreamed up in 1999.
