Piano Bridge, 19th century metal bridge in Dubina, Texas

Piano Bridge is a single-lane Pratt through truss of riveted steel carrying County Road 480 over the East Navidad River, with a main span of 79 feet (24 meters). Vertical posts and diagonal tension members divide the truss into panels, and the deck runs between the two parallel trusses rather than on top of them.

The King Iron Bridge Company of Cleveland built this 79-foot Pratt through truss in 1885 for Fayette County. It carried traffic on the road now known as County Road 480, near Saints Cyril and Methodius Church, and remained in vehicle service into the twenty-first century. A 2012 rehabilitation re-riveted the span to keep the original wrought-iron members in use.

Locals know the span as the Piano Bridge, and the nickname is tied to the sound of tires and boards on the metal deck rather than to any official dedication. The crossing stands near Saints Cyril and Methodius Church, a landmark of the Czech-heritage community around Dubina in Fayette County.

Located at coordinates 29.788327, -96.894532, this crossing can be reached by traveling County Road 480 beyond Saints Cyril and Methodius Church. The structure continues to accommodate vehicle traffic through rural Fayette County farmland.

The bridge is a pin-connected Pratt through truss rather than a riveted one; its wrought-iron members are joined by pins and eyebars, a detail visible at each panel point. The 2012 rehabilitation kept the original truss in place on its abutments.
