Bridge City (TX), the “Golden Link to the Triangle” is located on the west bank of Cow Bayou adjacent to Sabine Lake and the Neches River.
Sabine lake is a 78-square mile saltwater lake opening into the Gulf of Mexico. To enter or leave Bridge City you must cross one of three historic bridges. At the south end of town is the scenic Rainbow Bridge, the south’s tallest bridge.
The bridge’s 176-foot clearance height resulted from requirements that any U. S. Navy ship could pass under it. The sister span is the Veteran’s Memorial Bridge, the first cable-stayed bridge in the state of Texas.
At the north end of town are double bridges crossing Cow Bayou on State Highway 87. One of which is The Cow Bayou Bridge, a flat, concrete, swing bridge that was dedicated and opened in 1941. The bridge rests on a central concrete pier and pivots at a 90 degree angle to allow watercraft to pass. It is one of two of its kind and age in the entire state.
At the east entrance of town, is a smaller steel swing bridge that began operation prior to 1936, there is a 74 ft. Clearance from the water to the high lines that cross the bayou.
Circa February 1990, A little Locker101 grabbed his bike and rode off for his first day of high school. Each day, he would cross this bridge which winds up through Wynn Vale before heading down to the three schools.
Each road that is near this path is a city in Texas, or Texas itself. Longview, Lubbock, Dallas, Houston et al. all terminate along the path leading from this bridge. The path itself has half a dozen small bridges too.
This cache is slightly bigger than a micro and slightly smaller than a small. You will need to supply your own writing implement.
Please return the cache/camo as you found it for the next person!
