Significance: This 303'-0"-long, four-span reinforced concrete arch bridge over the Medina River is one of the earliest documented concrete arch bridges in Texas. The bridge features open spandrels and two sets of ribs, and is probably the first bridge in Texas to feature this combination of material-saving devices. It was designed by the young engineer Terrell Bartlett, who would later earn commissions for engineering projects throughout the state. By the time of his death in 1962, Bartlett had become one of the state's most prolific engineers.
