US190 Neches River Bridge
Posted May 15, 2020, by Brad Smith (gaberdine [at] hotmail [dot] com)

Bridge is having currently closed due to damage to superstructure. Repairs are scheduled to be complete before Memorial day weekend.

Bridge replacement is not on the horizon. TXDOT has supposedly agreed to replace the existing historic bridge with a similar appearing truss bridge.
