Texas is flat...you drive for miles and it is flat...until you get to the Pecos River. High Canyon walls dominate the last sixty miles of the Pecos River before it enters the Rio Grande. This bridge is 1,310 feet long and was completed in 1957 and is 273 feet above the river, the highest highway bridge in Texas. There were three previous bridges that were destroyed by flood waters.
The other direction you can almost see the mouth of the Pecos River, the Rio Grande and the hills in Old Mexico. It is awesome to look down at the river.
