Notes
  • Significance: The Ward River Bridge is a 787'-0"-long, eleven-span truss bridge crossing the Salt Fork of the Brazos River's wide flood plain. The structure employes eight spans of pin-connected Pratt pony trusses and three spans of riveted and bolted Warren pony trusses. These spans, some or all of which were purchased from another county, reflect the portability of trusses manufactured by bridge companies. It is the only known remaining bridge in Texas employing a combination of Pratt pony and Warren pony spans.
