Description
Waco’s Historic Suspension Bridge was the longest single-span suspension bridge west of the Mississippi when it was completed in 1870. The bridge was built with cable supplied by the John Roebling Co., who built the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. It is a single-span suspension bridge, with a main span of 475 ft. It contains nearly 3 million bricks.
Crucial to traders and travelers for well over a century, the bridge stands as an icon of Waco history and is the centerpiece of many community festivals and events including the Brazos Nights outdoor concert series. The bridge is flanked by two great Waco parks — Indian Spring Park on the west side, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Park on the east side.
