Ideas of converting it into a pedestrian bridge never came to fruition because of a lack of available funding to make the conversion." Parts of the bridge may be salvaged for a monument to be placed on the grounds of the Brazoria Heritage Foundation. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specwriter Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 It is so sad to see bridges like these disappear but a joy to see one preserved and adapted to a new use. As for preserving the steel structure, there are coatings available today that last much longer and have less environmental impact than in the past.
