Google Street View in 2021 shows southbound traffic on the rehabilitated bridge.
Talked with a spokesman for TxDOT who relayed that the old bridge is being rehabilitated with a new deck and paint and will re-open for south bound traffic in Spring of 2019.
I have been trying to find out. Texas has a great reputation for preservation, so I suspect that preservation of this NRHP listed structure is likely.
I drove across it a few times in past years, but I saw it today for the first time in a while. I was surprised to see the new bridge in place.
Are they gonna knock it down or preserve it for pedestrians
This bridge has been closed to traffic. The new bridge is open.
Thanks for sharing these great rehab photos of this beautiful historic bridge! TxDOT deserves to be thanked for saving this bridge. I tried to visit this in my 2019 Texas trip but it was still in containment for painting.
