Regency Bridge, Suspension bridge in Regency, Texas, United States
Regency Bridge is a suspension bridge crossing the Colorado River between Mills and San Saba counties in Texas. The wooden deck spans about 105 meters and measures roughly 16 feet wide for vehicle passage.
The bridge was built in 1939 to replace two earlier structures that failed: one collapsed under cattle weight in 1903 and another was destroyed by floods in 1936. This new construction restored reliable transportation across the river between the counties.
The bridge served as a gathering spot for neighbors in the 1940s, who organized picnics and dances near the river. These gatherings shaped the social life of this rural community.
The bridge remains open to vehicle traffic and handles one lane of crossing at a time. Visitors should be prepared for the aged structure and conditions that vary with weather and water flow.
This bridge is among the last of its kind in Texas still open to automobile traffic and is recognized as a historic structure. The design represents engineering solutions from an earlier era of rural development.
