Photographer's
Note:
"For lack of a better designation, [I've] labeled this bridge
as Imperial because of its proximity to said village, being 5.7mi
almost due east. It is on the boundary between Pecos and Crane Counties.
(See respective county seats Fort
Stockton and Crane)
These pictures of the Imperial Bridge are probably more than you really
wanted to know about it. In photos 5 & 7 you can see where extra pipes
have been added to the middle of the span indicating that it can hardly
support its own weight. The floor beams are so wobbledy that a hand
hold is required and even that is wobbledy, ready to give way if required
to fulfill its designed function. Well worth a visit for those who
might be in the area but not a good tourist attraction for those looking
for something to play on." - Barclay
