Larry Monroe Forever Bridge

The bridge's two low walls are decorated with mosaic tiles relating to Monroe and the music he played on Austin radio for more than 30 years.

After he died in January 2014, his fans and friends wanted to honor his life and his contribution to music in Austin.

Together they supervised over 100 volunteers who fabricated mosaic tiles made to look like radios, cassette tapes, ceramic portraits, and dozens of other representations of Monroe’s life and career, including replicas of his signature Segway license plate and a replica of the logo featured on his website, designed by artist Sam Hurt.

[2][3][4] On June 18, 2015, the Austin City Council passed resolution No.20150618-086, officially naming the bridge in recognition of the legacy of Larry Monroe.

[5] At a dedication ceremony on June 20, 2015, Mayor Pro Tem Kathie Tovo accepted the artwork on behalf of the City of Austin.
