Llano River Bridge (Mason County, Texas)

            Historic U.S. Hwy 87 Llano River Bridge in Mason County, Texas.  The two-span polygonal Warren through truss bridge is actually a reconstruction of the original 1930 bridge.  A flood in 1935 washed out the two main truss spans and center pier.  A 1936 project by the Texas Highway Department replaced the center pier, raised the remaining spans and erected the new bridge.  The new polygonal Warren through truss spans were fabricated by the Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company of Des Moines, Iowa and erected by Froemming Bros., Inc. of Austin, Texas

A 1972 project four-laned the highway and a new parallel bridge was erected to carry northbound traffic and the 1936 bridge became a bridge for southbound traffic.  The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996 (NRHP No. 96001128 as the State Highway 9 Bridge at the Llano River).
