Summary

Significance: This 140'-0" clear span bridge is a rare surviving example of the work of the Flinn-Moyer Company, whose output helped establish a tradition of regional suspension bridge building in turn of the century Texas. It is one of only two suspension bridges in Texas still used for vehicular traffic, and one of only seven pre-1940 suspension bridges left in the state. The Austin Bridge Company of Dallas reconstructed it in 1938.
