History
This steel through-truss bridge carries State Highway Loop 481 across the South Llano River at Junction, the Kimble County seat. It was built in 1936-1937 with federal-aid funds by the Central Bitulithic Company of Dallas, replacing an earlier truss span that a 1935 flood had damaged. The roughly 1,400-foot structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996 as part of Texas's historic road-infrastructure survey.
