The US 83 Bridge at the Salt Fork of the Red River, bringing US 83 across the Salt Fork Red River near Wellington, Texas, was a truss bridge built in 1939. It was built at the location of a near capture of Bonnie and Clyde, whose car plunged into the river in 1933. Upon their being rescued, local sheriff's staff were held up by Bonnie. (with multiple photos, page 58 on, including historic plaque about Bonnie & Clyde) It was a work of the Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Co. and the Texas highway Department. It was a Parker-through truss bridge with open steel railing and approach spans from the previous bridge. It has also been denoted CG0031-03-002. Read more on Wikipedia
