Skalak Rd.-West Mill Creek, Austin County

A Small Warren Pony Truss Bridge on Skalak Road, just south of Nelsonville, in Austin County, Texas. It spans West Mill Creek and was built in 1905 According to the State site, though it doesn’t look that old to me. This bridge is 60 feet long and 14 feet wide, and is still in service today.

My name is Lynn Smith. I am an architectural historian and I am preparing a report for the Texas Department of Transportation about a Warren pony truss bridge in Medina County on CR 662. The bridge I am studying is similar to the Skalak Road Bridge photos posted here. Would you please give me permission to use these four photos in my report?
