This is the most complete and substantial of the remaining
bowstrings in Texas. Contracted by the King Bridge Company for the
county in 1884.
The bridge is located on the old Waco-Hamilton road (now Hamilton
CR 301 ) at the Leon river and is included in the State Transportation
Enhancement Program. It will be a feature in the State approved Pecan
Creek Park in Hamilton.
At present it is the only bridge anywhere close and is still in use. |
