About

The Historic Deweyville Swing Bridge is the oldest existing swing bridge in Texas, located between Deweyville, TX, and Starks, LA. It was constructed during the Great Depression as a work-relief project, and serves as an educational site about engineering history and 1930s infrastructure development. The bridge's central swing design is an example of early 20th-century engineering. It is recognized by the National Park Service for its historical significance, and can serve as a real-world educational resource for those studying civil engineering, history, or transportation infrastructure.
