On the field we’re rivals, but Texas and Oklahoma literally build bridges together. Our states work side-by-side to work on bridges like SH 78 in Fannin County, TX over the Red River. A harmonious agreement... so Sooners can drive more efficiently to TX once a year to lose.

The Possum Kingdom Stone Arch Bridge completed in 1942 in Graford, Texas is the longest and most substantial masonry arch bridge in the Lone Star State. . Engineers chose the heavy masonry form to withstand flood waters released from the Morris Sheppard Dam, which lies one mile upstream. The bridge features fine craftsmanship and is argued to be one of the best examples of WPA road work in Texas. Many of the WPA laborers were unemployed coal miners who had acquired their stone-cutting skills underground. The bridge includes eighteen spans of locally quarried limestone varying in length from twenty-three to thirty feet. All piers are founded on bedrock; most are 3'-0" wide, although piers seven and thirteen are heavier "bracing piers," tapering to a 5'-0" width at the top. The structure's total length is 433'-4". Despite having been overtopped by floods, the bridge remains in virtually unaltered condition.
