Texas highway panel approves new suspension bridge
The Texas Highway Commission approved building a new bridge to replace the lone suspension span on state roads across the Colorado River in Sand Bend between Lampasas and San Saba Counties. The 1939 structure carried a 7500 pound axle limit, far below modern FM bridges. The commission plans a $404000 project financed in the next work program, while HemisFair 68 tickets offer $1 children’s admission, half the adult price.
