1935; G.G. Wickline; Span Bridge; Highway Bridge. DESCRIPTION: Poured concrete bridge resting on concrete piers, square balusters and rails with chamfered edges; poured in sections approximately twenty-five feet long; marble reflectors on end stanchions; a second parallel, but a separate bridge was constructed for northbound one-way traffic. SIGNIFICANCE: Good example of style and representative of public works projects during the 1930's. The Texas State Highway Department was formed in 1917 in order to take advantage of federal aid for road building. The bridge was built as an important transportation link on U.S. Hwy 59 which winds from Texarkana on the Arkansas border to Laredo on the Mexican border. It is one of the few examples of this style of publics works projects in an unaltered condition in the state. The area of significance is transportation and engineering at the local level.
