Old Ward Brazos River Bridge (Stonewall County, Texas)

            Historic Ward Brazos River Bridge over the Salt Fork of the Brazos River near Aspermont in Stonewall County, Texas.  The bridge consists of eleven pony truss spans - eight spans of pin-connected Pratt pony trusses and three spans of riveted and bolted Warren pony trusses.  The eight Pratt spans were probably fabricated by the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron Company in Menard County around 1916 and removed and relocated here in 1935.   The Warren truss spans may also have been purchased from Menard County.

The bridge has been bypassed by a new bridge and is abandoned.
