INKS LAKE
BRIDGE
Over Colorado River
Built over
the Colorado River (Inks Lake) just below Buchanan Dam
|
The Colorado River (Inks Lake) Bridge is on old State Highway 29 and
was closed to vehicular traffic upon completion of the new parrallel
bridge which can be seen along side the old truss bridge in both photos.
Both bridges: SH 16 over Llano River (Roy
Inks Bridge) and SH 29 over Colorado River below Buchanan Dam
were built by Austin Bridge Company in the 1930's. I obtained this
information from personal visits to both sites and my knowledge of
company history and photos of Austin Bridge Company. - Donald L.
