This pin connected truss bridge, characteristic of a popular style that once dotted rural Texas, is the last one in Texas built by the Clinton Bridge and Iron Company of Iowa. It originally opened in 1891 on the Leon River in Coryell County in what later became Mother Neff State Park, and it was moved 6 miles in the late 1940s or early 1950s to County Road 322. By 1993 it could no longer support modern road traffic, and Texas Department of Transportation officials, in a historic preservation agreement with the Texas Historical Commission, painstakingly transported it more than 150 miles to this site.
