Oriana Bridge, Spanning Salt Fork of Brazos Rivrer at Old County Route 207, Peacock, Stonewall County, TX
Summary
Significance: An increasingly rare example of the once-common camelback truss, the Oriana Bridge is locally significant as an all-weather link in an early road connecting Stonewall County with Jayton, the principal city of Kent County. It is also representative of the use of multi-truss bridges to span rivers whose dramatically fluctuating flows are common throughout Texas.
