Historic Deweyville Swing Bridge

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.
