Notes
  • Significance: Spanning 340'-0" tower to tower, the Regency Suspension Bridge is one of five remaining suspension bridges in Texas. The bridge was built with mostly hand labor by area residents. Its 3 1/4"-diameter cables consist of 475 strands of No. 9 gauge galvanized wire anchored into concrete approximately 134 feet behind each welded steel tower. A 16'-0"-wide wooden roadway is supported on timber stringers and steel floor beams hung from steel suspension rods. This crossing of the Colorado River was built to reopen an important agricultural route and to link San Saba and Brownwood. The Regency Suspension Bridge was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
