1906: Brannon's Crossing

Weatherford vicinity, Parker County, Texas, USA - Brazos River
Bridgemeister ID:1298 (added 2004-03-28)

Status:Replaced, 1934
Main Cables:Wire (steel)
Main Span:1 x 134.1 meters (440 feet)

Notes:

  • Tony King believes he found the former location of this bridge a few hundred yards south of the I-20 Brazos River crossing west of Weatherford. This location is near a road named "Brannon Bridge Circle." Tony writes: "Just downstream from the modern Interstate 20 bridge in western Parker County, I've noticed a concrete and iron structure, and happened to take a photo of it recently. I've noticed the structure a couple of times in the past (most recently in May of 2007) while hiking a well-worn foot/ATV path that parallels the west bank of the river as it flows almost due south from the Interstate to Meeks Bend." The structure in Tony's photo appears to be a pier or support footing. The coordinates given here are Tony's approximation of the location of the structure.
  • Built as part of the same contract as the Tin Top bridge.
  • Similar to 1906 Tin Top (Hightower Valley) - Tin Top, Texas, USA.

Main Span:1 x 121.9 meters (400 feet)

Notes:

  • Some internet resources suggest the "Tin Top" and "Hightower" suspension bridges were separate nearby structures, however, this does not appear to have been the case. Both names were used to describe the same structure and USGS topographical maps from the 1950s label the bridge due south of Tin Top as "Hightower". Mitchell and Pigg did build a similar structure, at Brannon's Crossing. The 2015 National Register of Historic Places Registration Form for "Historic Road Infrastructure of Texas, 1866-1965", the Texas Department of Transportation writes: "In 1905 [Mitchell and Pigg] constructed the practically identical Brannon's Crossing and Hightower Valley Bridges across the Brazos in Parker County. The former was a 440-foot clear span while the later, also known as Tin Top, was 400 feet."
  • The coordinates appear to be the exact location of a pier remaining (as of 2020) from this bridge. The alignment indicated by the pier appears to exactly match the location of this bridge as indicated by 1958 USGS topographical map of the area.
  • Similar to 1906 Brannon's Crossing - Weatherford vicinity, Parker County, Texas, USA.

Notes:

  • On Page 13 of the December 27, 1967 edition of West Virginia's The Charleston Gazette newspaper, there is a photograph of this footbridge with a Jeep driving across. The caption reads: "Pedestrian bridge at Vulcan... is used by vehicles because it provides a route over the Tug River to Kentucky. A citizen's group has complained that the bridge is not strong enough to support cars." The photograph accompanies an article "Road Reform Call Urged" that says the bridge is "regularly used by Jeeps and small cars." Note the date of the article, December 27, 1967 is 12 days after the Silver Bridge disaster at Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
  • Near (footbridge) - Vulcan, West Virginia and Pike County, Kentucky, USA. Although similar in appearance, these appear to have been different bridges.

(the portion between the Fo and Co is obscured) for Weatherford Machine and Foundry Company. The next two lines are clear: "BUILDERS 1908" and "WEATHERFORD TEXAS". The last line is largely obscured but it appears to say "MITCHELL & PIGG PAT'D 1..." with a year at the end. Mitchell & Pigg was a well-known builder of suspension bridges in Texas. Most sources cite 1909 as the year of completion.
  • South tower washed out, 1912.

  • www.LakeHistory.info. Michael Gillespie writes: "The supporting cables were cut and the tower was allowed to fall into the Osage River. The entire flood plain was being inundated by the waters of the newly created Lake of the Ozarks. During World War 2, the cables and tower were raised and sold for scrap. The shoreline of today's Lake of the Ozarks is just at the base of the bridge abutment. The toll house, seen in the photo just to the left of the bridge, is long gone, and everything below that has been underwater for 77 years. I have created a map of the road system at that location."

External Links:

  • Asturian-American Migration Forum :: Lleendu tema - History of Spelter, an American Asturian Community. Mentions: "The [Grasselli Company] built a swinging footbridge across the West Fork River in 1910 to connect the town of Spelter with the Fairmont-Clarksburg interurban trolley line. The trolley stop was called 'Ziesing'. Wagons forded the river to bring supplies not carried into the town by the B.&O. Railroad. A school house was built on the hill… DuPont sold the townsite in 1950, including the swinging bridge, to John J. Moschetta who immediately sold the houses to the employees occupying them at the time. Mr. Moschetta dismantled the swinging bridge in 1951… In 1962 a new cement bridge was constructed north of the old vehicular bridge."

  • A Delaware County Primer complied by Sue Hudson. "West of Cooks Falls and east of Horton, on the O&W. Acid plant built here by Eugene King burned in June 1888, was rebuilt, and was later bought by local entrepreneur, George I. Treyz. Railroad suspension bridge constructed in 1911 by John A. Roebling's Sons Company of Trenton, NJ to connect Treyz's acid factory, saw mill, and planing mill on Russell Brook to the O&W, which ran on the other side of the Beaver Kill."
  • Cooks Falls - Colchester Historical Society. "Arthur Leighton and George I. Treyz developed the acid factory industries in Cook's Falls... Treyz had a close relationship with the O&W Railroad, which helped both to prosper. Treyz installed a Roebling suspension bridge between his plant and the O&W Railroad. This siding was known as the Grove Switch. A narrow gauge railway was constructed and ran up Russell Brook to the Russell School. This line carried logs and sawed lumber down to the Treyz plant and the O&W Railroad."

Notes:

  • GAP: Completed c.1912. Destroyed by earthquake, 1931.
  • Hamish Kynoch writes: "This bridge over the Mangatewai River was located on Boyle Road. It was damaged in the large earthquake in 1931, but stood for many years, and was used occasionally for livestock, with wooden planking over the crack in the concrete deck. It was demolished about 1970 by dynamiting the anchor blocks at one end of the bridge. There was no replacement and the old road is now closed. Another bridge of the same design was located about three miles away on Wilson Cutting Road."

Year Completed:1912

Main Cables:Wire

Notes:

External Links:

  • Catalog Number 1983/001/SBPM01034 - Sacramento Bee. This "Center for Sacramento History" catalog entry suggests the bridge survived until 1936. Given the bridge was ultimately replaced in 1940, this later date makes more sense than some of the earlier claims of it being destroyed in the 1920s unless there were some intermediate reconstructions.
  • Klamath River at Orleans - California State Library. This image shows a bridge of similar construction but apparently shorter span than the other images linked here. However, matching buildings seen in the background of multiple images place it at the same location. Given the muddled suspension bridge chronology at this location and frequency of Klamath River floods, it seems likely there were multiple reconstructions of this bridge.
  • Orleans Bridge 1910 - California State Library. Image purporting to be the Orleans bridge under construction in 1910, but it does not appear to be the same location.
