2-357 - Old wooden bridge over water.
Since this is a wood bridge, it is probably over Denton Creek, north of Coppell. However, it could be over the Trinity, east of Coppell. (P. Wilson, resident, 9/13/06) Note: this is a steel through truss bridge with a wooden deck built from the 1870's to 1930's. Instead of using wide flange steel members, lattice beams were used to save weight and optimize the design. (Phil LaBerge, resident, 8/25/20)
