The
Colorado River (Inks Lake) Bridge is on old State Highway 29 and was
closed to vehicular traffic upon completion of the new parrallel bridge
which can be seen along side the old truss bridge in both photos.
Both bridges: SH 16 over Llano River (Roy
Inks Bridge) and SH 29 over Colorado River below Buchanan Dam
were built by Austin Bridge Company in the 1930's. I obtained this
information from personal visits to both sites and my knowledge of
company history and photos of Austin Bridge Company. - Donald L. Towles,
