The bridge was designed by the Texas Highway Department; the main truss was the Texas Highway Department's T22-150 standard design. The truss fabricator was Petroleum Iron Works Co. and the bridge builder was the Austin Bridge Co..[2]

The main span was a 150 feet (46 m) riveted Parker through truss; there were 53 smaller I-beam spans. Also two additional structures, included in the listing, spanned "borrow pits" outside the levees of the Trinity River.[2]

The bridge was replaced in 1996.
