Bridge site selected near Uvalde on highway W6
A State Highway department surveying crew under O P Gul has chosen a site for a highwater bridge spanning the Sabinal river, about 20 miles east of Uvalde. The plan moves the location south of the present bridge and the highway will be reshaped to run nearly straight into town, removing curves. Land is needed along Highway No 00 to widen the right of way to 100 feet before letting contracts for the bridge and another span over the Nueces river at Uvalde.
