For many years, this was the only crossing for vehicular and pedestrian traffic between the two cities. HistoryIn 1889, eight years after the first railroad bridge was constructed connecting two cities, the "Foot and Wagon Bridge" was built which enabled pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages to cross the border.[2] It was destroyed by a tornado and subsequent flood in 1905, then again by a mysterious fire in 1920. It was destroyed again by floods in 1932 and 1954.[3] During each reconstruction, temporary pontoon bridges were built to accommodate traffic. The current bridge was completed in 1955. The construction of the Amistad Dam in 1969 has mitigated the effect of subsequent flooding conditions. It wasn't until 1976 that a second bridge was built to further connect the two cities. The U.S. Inspection Station building that was built in 1943 was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1992. {{Clear|left}}See also{{Portal box|NRHP|Texas}}
