CR 106 - Little River, Milam County

The Bryant Station Bridge on County Road 106 in Milam County, is a Camelback Parker Through Truss bridge. Built in 1909 by C. Q. Horton, agent for the Chicago Bridge and Iron company, it is 332 feet long and 16 feet wide, spanning the Little River. According to The Library of Congress page, “Bryant Station Bridge is one of two surviving bridges employing a single-span pin-connected camelback through truss in Texas and one of five employing a camelback through truss. The bridge features the unusual configuration of a sloping deck installed above the horizontal bottom chord.” A new bridge has been built along side it. The old bridge is no longer open to vehicle traffic, but you can still cross it.
