Comments
San Jacinto River Bridge
I saw this bridge last week traveling for work. It is still standing, and in use.
San Jacinto River Bridge
Back in 1996, I wrote a letter to the Humble City Council and the Texas Department of Transportation to help save the bridge from being torn down to make room for the newly created Interstate 69. I am proud to see that this bridge still stands tall.
