History
The State Highway 27 Bridge at Johnson Fork, near Segovia in Kimble County, is a through-truss bridge built in 1938 to carry Texas Highway 27 across the Johnson Fork of the Llano River. After Interstate 10 was completed in the 1970s and reshaped the local road system, the old highway approaching the bridge was left to dead-end. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996 under the Historic Bridges of Texas listing.
