Waco Suspension Bridge
Waco Suspension Bridge, Suspension bridge in Waco, United States.
The 475-foot steel and brick bridge spans across the Brazos River, connecting Indian Spring Park with Doris D. Miller Park in Waco.
Constructed in 1869 by engineer Thomas M. Griffith, the bridge used cables from the Roebling company, which later supplied materials for the Brooklyn Bridge.
The bridge marks the location where the Huaco Indians established their settlement near a cold spring on the banks of the Brazos River.
After operating as a toll crossing until 1889, McLennan County purchased the bridge for 75,000 dollars and removed all passage fees for travelers.
The bridge required three million locally produced bricks for its twin double towers, making it an engineering achievement in 19th century Texas.
