Washington Avenue Bridge
Washington Avenue Bridge, Historic bridge in Waco, Texas.
The Washington Avenue Bridge extends 450 feet across the Brazos River, connecting East Waco with the downtown district through its steel Pennsylvania through truss design.
Constructed in 1902 for $93,399, the Washington Avenue Bridge stood as the longest single-span vehicular truss bridge in Texas at the time of its completion.
The structure represents early 20th-century American engineering practices and received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
The bridge accommodates both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, providing an essential crossing point over the Brazos River for residents and visitors.
The 2009 renovation maintained over 95 percent of the original materials, making it the oldest functioning Pennsylvania through truss bridge in the United States.
