The Texas Department of Transportation oversees a Historic Bridge Legacy Program to facilitate the adoption of historic bridges that outlive utility for vehicular service. All bridges available under this program are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The bridges are owned by TxDOT, cities, or counties and merit special consideration of their potential for preservation in the community. The primary emphasis of the program is to find a new public use for the bridges, such as along a hike-and-bike trail or in a public park.

A historic bridge in Comanche County at County Road (CR) 382 crossing Resley Creek is currently available for adoption. For more information, please contact Andrew Chisholm at (325) 643-0442 or visit www.txdot.gov, keyword search “adopt a bridge.”
