This six spanned Wrought Iron High Truss iron bridge was installed over the Colorado River in 1884 in Austin. The bridge is located on Burleson Road running down the south-side of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) and crosses over Onion Creek in the Richard Moya Park in eastern Travis County.  In 1884 the bridge spanned the Colorado river in Austin after being designed by the King Iron Bridge and Manufacturing Company of Cleveland, Ohio.  In 1910 the iron bridge was dismantled and placed in storage for five years.  In 1915 part of the original Congress Avenue bridge from Austin was used to replace the low-water crossing on Onion Creek, but a flood washed it out that same year. When Austin received 18.23 inches of rain in 24 hours on September 8-10, 1921 the bridge that replaced the first three spans was washed away. This storm event, known as "The Great Thrall/Taylor Storm", still stands in the record books as the greatest of all continental U.S. rainstorms during 18 consecutive hours. The storm entered Mexico as a hurricane from the Gulf and then drifted northward dropping six inches on Laredo before unleashing on Central Texas.  Miraculously, only six fatalities were reported in Travis County, all on Onion Creek. The last three spans of the Congress Avenue bridge were used to rebuild the bridge on Onion Creek in 1922.
