International Bridge Design, 1910 - El Paso, Texas
An artist rendering of the International Bridge connecting El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The drawing is dated February 3, 1910. The plans were drawn by J.L. Campbell an engineer for the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad. The plans called for a concrete bridge to connect the two cities, at the time two International Bridges were made of wood. For a number of years officials and residents alike had lobbied to erect a concrete or steel bridge, unfortunately Campbell's bridge never was built. It's most certain it would have been a beautiful sight. Campbell's design intended to have six long spans with an extra half span an statues of prominent men from Mexico and the U.S. surrounded at the connecting points. The entrance at the end of each bridge would be ornamented with statues statesmen and warriors.
