This site is dedicated to the Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge and those folks who like to walk over it for fun. Come join us on the first Sunday of each month.
Actual dates and times will be published in advance on the Walk Info page of this site.
So what’s stopping you?
<< The bridge is there. Therefore it must be walked! >>
On my first visit to the great State of Texas, in December 1998 when the purpose of my visit was to marry the love of my life, it crossed my mind that the Harbor Bridge would make a good walk. (By the way that was not uppermost in my mind that year – honest!) Now, I’m not from around here and admittedly had no experience of the heat and humidity which can be encountered in these parts, however I dismissed the nay sayers amongst my group as simply automobile loving Americans who just didn’t want to get out of their vehicles to “walk the bridge”.
New Year's Day 2010
So the seed was planted and each year, on arrival from the UK, I would be driven Northwards from the airport over the Harbor Bridge to Rockport and each time I would think “I’m going to walk the bridge this year.” Sadly, by the time I had enthused my mother in law to join in this venture, the walkways were closed to the public for security reasons (post 9/11). To cut a long story short we finally completed the walk on New Year’s Day 2010, started a monthly walking club, but had to stop after April due to the commencement of a painting and maintenance project. Walking will recommence as soon as TxDot complete the project.
