08-CR 146 BR.jpg

Burleson County, Texas

A iron bridge in on County Road 146 in Burleson County, Texas, near Birch. It is a Pony Truss, possibly a divided Warren Truss design, but I am not sure yet. Built in 1940, according to the State database, it spans Birch Creek and is still in use today

I believe it is a Polygonal Warren with Verticals. The V-Lacing of the verticals and diagonal members is noteworthy. Length of span: 60 ft.
