Burr's Ferry Bridge, Road bridge between Louisiana and Texas, United States

Burr's Ferry Bridge carries Louisiana State Highway 8 and Texas State Highway 63 across the Sabine River between Burkeville, Texas, and Burr Ferry, Louisiana. Its three Parker through truss spans include a 250-foot (76 m) riveted center span and two 120-foot (37 m) spans, accompanied by 34 concrete girder spans.

This bridge replaced a ferry operation established by Dr. Timothy Burr around 1820 when he settled in the area and developed businesses at this crossing. The location served as a crucial transport link between the two states for many years.

The crossing is named for Dr. Timothy Burr, who settled here around 1820 and ran a ferry across the Sabine before any bridge existed. The bridge carries LA 8 and SH 63 at the state line, so drivers pass a boundary marker between Burkeville, Texas, and Burr Ferry, Louisiana.

The bridge carries two lanes of traffic on LA 8 and SH 63 between Burkeville, Texas, and Burr Ferry, Louisiana. The deck is narrow and the truss spans have no shoulders, so drivers should watch for oncoming vehicles. Construction of a replacement bridge about a quarter mile south is expected to start in summer 2025.

The replacement bridge is designed to interstate-highway standards for the Interstate 14 extension, and construction is expected to begin in summer 2025. The existing crossing carries LA 8 on the Louisiana side and SH 63 on the Texas side, linking Burkeville and Burr Ferry.
