Question: What highway bridge has the highest vertical clearance of any in Texas?
Answer: The Pecos River Bridge on U.S. Highway 90 in Comstock. It spans 1,310 feet at a height of 273 feet above the Pecos River. Construction began in 1954 following the destruction of the previous bridge—a steel truss bridge built in 1923 with a vertical clearance of 50 feet—during flooding caused by Hurricane Alice.
