Skalak Road Bridge
A Small Warren Pony Truss Bridge on Skalak Road, just south of Nelsonville, in Austin County, Texas. It spans West Mill Creek and was built in 1905 According to the State site, though it doesn’t look that old to me. This bridge is 60 feet long and 14 feet wide, and is still in service today.
