The Waco Suspension Bridge: From Cattle Drives to Common Ground
Update: 2025-11-04
Description
For 150 years, the Waco Suspension Bridge has stretched across the Brazos River—first as a toll bridge for cattle drives, later as a civic landmark rebuilt more than once to keep pace with the city it helped create. Its towers have seen drovers, parades, protests, and over a century’s worth of Waco reflected in the slow water below.
Today, it connects more than geography. The bridge still carries a divided city’s weight—reminding Waco where it started and what it might mean to finally meet in the middle.
