Piano Bridge update
The Piano Bridge at Dubina has been officially closed by TXDOT since late 2010.
There are a few groups hoping to help the county find a way to refurbish it and save the bridge. Google "Dubina Piano Bridge" and you will find some good links.
Only a few weeks ago I was able to get around the signs and ride across it. Seemingly, for the last time.
MotocycleBelle and I went to visit it last weekend and they have now welded bars across the road at both ends of the bridge to prevent access.
Having earned my MC license at age 15 in Schulenburg, I have crossed that one many times, and other similar bridges in the area which are now long since gone.
It used to be a thrill for me to jump up onto the bridge with my TS100 when all those back roads were gravel, and all my "shortcuts" were the longest distance between two points.
Give it a good once-over and it would be in service for another hundred and twenty-five years. I do hope the bridge can be saved.
