SOUTH LLANO RIVER BRIDGE LOVERS LEAP

Construction on the quarter mile long bridge was finished mid1937 and only took 15 months to complete.

The bridge has since had several structural updates and still stands strong even after the devastating October 2018 flooding.

The pedestrian walkway on the bridge gives a magnificent view of the South Llano River and Lovers Leap.

In the preliminary stages of planning, the location for this proposed bridge was described as ‘the setting for this bridge, especially as approached from the East, is going to be simply magnificent. The new highway will come over the high hills for a splendid view of the canyons and the valley, and on down quite a large canyon to the bridge site, across a pretty stream, and into town’.
