Gonzales County:
Slayden Through Truss Bridge

Photographer's Note:

"This 275 foot Through Truss Bridge was built in 1915 by the New Jersey Steel and Iron Works Company over the San Marcos River, 6-1/2 miles northwest of Gonzales. The bridge is still in use by local traffic.

No sign was found of Slayden itself." - Barclay Gibson, June 27, 2010
