1. Gregory Road Bridge at Duck Creek Marker
Built c. 1923, this one-lane bridge crossed Duck Creek at Gregory Road serving Gregory, Lois, Pollard and Hoehn Roads in northern Denton County, south of Cooke County line. This 52-foot-long steel bridge is a three-panel Warren pony truss. It may have been one of three bridges requested by Precinct Four Commissioner J.B. Fritz and authorized by the Denton County Commissioners in 1923. This bridge was possibly manufactured by King Bridge Co. or Austin Bridge Co. Closed in 2007, the bridge was relocated to the Denton County Administrative Complex in 2012.
Erected 2012 by Denton County Historical Commission.
