Built mainly by hand in 1939, The Regency Suspension Bridge stands as the only suspension bridge in Texas that still allows automobile traffic across. It is famously featured during the opening credits of episodes of The Texas Country Reporter with Bob Phillips. It crosses the Colorado River 23 miles from Goldthwaite and spans over 370 feet across. Take a trip to Goldthwaite and let your tires find their way over the wooden bridge.
