🚨 The historic Joppa Iron Truss Bridge—a structure built in 1907—was swept away by catastrophic floodwaters, disappearing from its longtime home over the North Fork of the San Gabriel River between Georgetown and Lampasas. Here is some history on this local iconic structure: https://texashistoricalmarkers.weebly.com/joppa-iron-truss-bridge.html (Source: Damon Beierle, Burnet County Pct 2 Commissioner) | Million Voices

A new bridge highlights an 85-year-old piece of local history in Burleson County. TxDOT replaced a 1940-built truss bridge on CR 146 at Birch Creek, but was able to save and rehab the former bridge's trusses. They're now installed as decoration on the new bridge. It's a part of how TxDOT works to preserve bridges and their history across the state. #BeyondTheRoad | Texas Department of Transportation
