McKee Street Bridge
McKee Street Bridge, Moderne architecture bridge in downtown Houston, United States
The McKee Street Bridge extends 290 feet across Buffalo Bayou with three concrete spans, including a central section measuring 120 feet long.
The structure completed in 1932 replaced a 1908 steel truss swing bridge, marking a significant advancement in civil engineering for the Houston transportation system.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this bridge in 2002 for its engineering excellence and contribution to Houston's urban development.
The bridge features a brick road surface on concrete deck, providing 42 feet of vertical clearance and 100 feet of horizontal space for water vessels.
In 1985, the concrete girders of the bridge received an artistic transformation through the application of aquamarine, purple, and lavender paint colors.
